Ms. Su Ying, female, a resident of Liaoning Province. In January 2001, she went to Beijing to appeal to the government to stop persecuting Falun Gong. She was arrested and send to four different prisons, where she was repeatedly tortured. On one occasion, the female prisoners were ordered to strip her down to her underwear in the freezing yard and take turns pouring cold water on her, while punching her in the face. In March 2001, Ms. Su was transferred to the Third Detention Center in Panjin City, Liaoning Province.

In April 2001, she was sent to the Panjin Labor Camp in Panjin City.On May 25, 2001,  Ms. Su was dragged to the second floor of the reception building. There she was force to stand “Horse Step” every day. She was also forced to put her hands on her head, lower her head and bend over fully. Sometimes she was forced to perform “Golden Pheasant Stands Alone.” They either did not allowed her to sleep at all, or only let her sleep for two hours each night. She was only allowed to use restroom three times per day while squatting down and moving around on her feet.

On May 29 2001, in the middle of the night, under the orders of Section Head Yi Xiuyan and Vice Section Head Liu Jing, policewoman Cai Li, policewoman Wang Yan, and policewoman Yan Lina took Ms. Su to a pitch-dark room, where the four policewomen stripped her down to her underpants although she was having her menstrual period. They beat and kicked Ms. Su, and pounded her head, face, ear, cervical vertebra, breasts, back, waist, legs and other vital parts. Then they beat her and shocked her over thirty times with an electric baton, leaving her covered with cuts and bruises. Her lower back and buttocks were especially swollen and were the color of eggplant. After that, they forced her to lie on her stomach and beat her with wooden sticks. Each policewoman took a turn to beat her three times with a wooden stick. Then they pinched her on her neck, armpits, lower abdomen, and the inside of her thighs until she bled. Then  they beat her again. Ms. Su was tortured until she lost consciousness, after which she had to be sent to the First People’s Hospital in Panjin City.

In the hospital, the examination of Ms. Su revealed that there were such serious injuries all over the inside of her thighs, that her skin was beyond recognition. Her buttocks were black and blue and badly swollen. She woke up after seven hours of emergency treatment. Since she had temperature of 103 degree Fahrenheit and her wounds were infected, without notifying Ms. Su’s family, she was taken to surgery. During the surgery, 500cc of extravagated blood was removed from her buttocks. After being hospitalized for half a month, Ms. Su was sent back to the labor camp. So that no one could see the extent of the torture, she was locked in a cell with another female practitioner. The police played loud disco music all day long to cover the sound of any screaming.

In July 2001, Yi Xiuyan forced Ms. Su to stand still every day from 4 a.m. to 2 a.m. the next night, even though she had not yet fully recovered. Ms. Su was forced to stand in the “Horse Step” position until the end of September. After she was sent back to the jail cell, she was not allowed to speak.

In the beginning of November 2001, Yi Xiuyan locked Su Ying in a small cell in order to observe her closely. On November 17, Yi Xiuyan placed another three Falun Gong practitioners in the same small cell with Ms. Su. As they were denied use of the toilet, they were forced to defecate and urinate in the small cell, the same cell in which they ate. The guards covered the window on the door with newspaper to restrict their freedom even further. On November 20, Ms. Su was taken to the second floor of the drug-detox building for a third round of violent brainwashing. There, she was locked in a different small room with the other three practitioners. A window was covered with newspaper, and the electric lights were left on twenty-four hours a day. Four people shared two beds and had to urinate and defecate in the room with no facilities. During the forty-eight days’ internment in the small room, they had to get up at 4:30 a.m. and go to sleep after midnight. To cover up the extent of the torture, Ms. Su was not allowed to tell her family about her experiences. Ms. Su, however, actually told her family about the torture she suffered, and showed them the scars on her buttocks. Liu Jing, the guard on duty, then threatened to beat her to death in front of her family members.

On the morning of January 8, 2002, Yi Xiuyan and Cai Li placed Ms. Su in confinement for seven days, during which she was handcuffed to a heating pipe, bent over and squatting down with her hands behind her back. Because she was vomiting on the fourth day, the police released her hands.

On March 18, 2002, Ms. Su was transferred to the Masanjia Labor Camp, where she received more torture.
