3. Li Yanhong, female, resident of Heilongjiang Province

Ms. Wang Fang, Ms. Zuo Xiuyun, and Ms. Li Yanhong had developed many blisters on their bodies due to torture. To torture them further, the Wanjia Labor Camp leaders ordered several male prisoners to hold them down and use knives and spoons to scrape their bodies. Their bodies were covered with blood and raw flesh after the torture. Then, the three practitioners were forced to lie down on the dirty floors of their solitary cells. They were not provided with any spare clothes or bedding. Twice a day, the practitioners were given only a little cornmeal mush. One guard, Li Min, hung Ms. Wang up for nearly forty hours and shocked her body with an electric baton. The torture started around noon on June 18 and lasted until June 20, 2001.

Pan Juying, female, 37, resident of Huguo Village, Anlu City, Hubei Province, a former employee at the Hua Rong Supermarket of Fu Cheng Department Store in Anlu City, Hubei Province

On the evening of August 10, 2001, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau Ke Jicheng and police officer Chen Xinrun secretly took Ms. Pan to the guesthouse on the 2nd floor of the National Tax Bureau. They first pinned her to the ground, then crushed and smashed her toes one by one with their boots. As if it was not enough, they started to squash her soles, ankles, and calves. After that, Ke Jicheng, with the help of police officers Li Ning and others, tied up Ms. Pan with a nylon rope with her hands hand-cuffed behind her. They hung her up from the back, whipped her face with ropes, slapped her face with their hands, and forcefully poured water into her mouth while squeezing her nose shut. At 1 p.m. on August 11, Officer Chen brought in two poisonous snakes called cauliflower snakes--one big and one small in a bag. The big one was about 4.5 centimeters in diameter and about one meter long. Ms. Pan's hands were tied inside the snake bag for more than 10 minutes, and Chen Xinrun shook the bag and made the snakes bite Ms. Pan.

Tong Lijun, male, employee at the state-run 754th Mine of Nuclear Industry in Xingcheng, Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province

Mr. Tong Lijun was arrested at the end of June 2001 and sent to the Jinzhou Detention Center. Mr. Tong went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention. The cell head forced fed Mr. Tong with over a dozen pickled vegetable chunks without any water. Mr. Tong could not bear the thirst. He was then forced to drink five basins of cold water, and was also force-fed a basin of soapsuds to induce diarrhea. The prisoners also induced him to pass a lot of water by stimulating his anus with toothbrushes. Next they used the torture method called "pulling the door bell." The torturers threaded needles, then pulled up the flesh on Mr. Tong's back, and pierced his skin with the threaded needles. They hung pickled vegetable chunks on both ends of the threads and took turns pulling the threads back and forth for a whole night. They pierced the outside of his upper leg with rusty nails that had been pulled out of the windows. The holes in his leg were as deep as 10 centimeters. The scars from the two holes can still be seen today. They hit the front of his lower leg with chunks of wood taken from the windows, causing a row of swellings on his leg. To torture him more, a chunk of wood was then used to press on the swellings. They also pierced the tip of his penis (urethral orifice) with needles. Then, while they were beating him, they poured icy cold water over his penis. They also impaled the needles under his finger-nails. They even smashed his toenails with chunks of wood.
