brainwashing - every day, everyone must sing songs to glorify the Communist. Anyone found not doing it properly will be tortured.

she couldn't raise her body by bending at the waist, and her fingers were crooked for a long time, which made simple things like washing her face, eating meals, and buttoning up her clothes a challenge."

the stretching and hanging by handcuffs didn't stop until a few days later.

their clothes were soaked, and her hair fell out from enduring the long-term pain.

the torture wasn't stopped until she lost consciousness. she was tortured many times.

there are no words to describe the pain."
the degree of suffering from this torture exceeds the imagination.

tiger bench - almost every detained dafa practitioner has undergone this torture. the victim is tied sitting on a narrow bench, with her arms to the back and legs outstretched. her lower legs are wedged up by sharp blocks to increase the pain. the torture lasts from ten days to over a month. insertion of pins under fingernails and toenails and in the heels and burning with cigarettes.

the victim is not given a break and is closely watched by a team rostered around the clock. the victims endure unbearable pain and often pass out during these torture sessions.

the victim was 60 years old "tearing limb from limb by five horses": they forced her down on a tiger bench, with her hands behind the chair through two holes. there were eight to nine policemen in the front, pulling my limbs in different directions. she felt like her heart,lungs, wrists, ankles and limbs were being torn apart.

in "Five Horses Splitting the body," she was forced to stand on a stool while three or four persecutors put handcuffs on her wrists and stretched her arms straight out in opposite directions, and then attached the handcuffs to something to keep them there. then they would take the stool out from under her feet. because her entire body weight was rested on her outstretched arms and wrists, the handcuffs pulled so hard that they cut into her wrists, causing them to bleed.
this is really feel like "five horses splitting the body." the physical state can be observed apparently during this process....==???????

for this torture method, the female falun gong practitioners' hands are separated and tied to two opposite bunk beds. once the hands are tied, the beds are pulled apart. this is extremely painful, as all the major organs are subjected to great pressure, causing unimaginable suffering. the victims of such torture have a feeling of being torn apart (usually practitioners who are being tortured in such a way will shake uncontrollably while letting out heart-wrenching screams).

these female practitioners have refused to renounce their beliefs, and are therefore constantly subjected to inhuman treatment.

"her hands were handcuffed to the rail of the upper bunk of an iron bed, which put she entire weight of 160 pounds on her wrists. they tightly bound her ankles and feet with a wide cloth strap, which made it hard to move. they tied she to one end of the bed. they stood at the other end, one on each side, and pulled apart very hard, lengeth her entire body.

their whole body felt like it was splitting apart, and she was sweating so hard that my clothing became soaked with sweat. she almost passed out. Soon my hands and wrists turned dark purple. this cruel torture was much worse than the prior one.

in order to escalate the persecution, the nurse from the clinic also forced her to take medication for heart disease.
because she was shouting "Falun Dafa is wonderful, Falun Dafa is righteous Fa," her mouth was covered with tape. even so, the guards periodically shook the handcuffs that cut into her wrists, as her skin peeled away. she was handcuffed for 23 hours in total. during that time she was deprived of food, water, and use of the restroom.

after the handcuffs were removed, she lost consciousness. when she went to the restroom, she couldn't remove her pants. the skin on her wrists and hands was broken, and there were many blisters of various sizes. the muscles in her upper body had atrophied like that of a child, the muscles around her Hegu acupuncture point in both hands had also atrophied, and the bottoms of her fingers had become thin.

this cruel torture tied her ankles to the horizontal rail of the lower bunk on an iron bed. he also stuck a stick in between her ankles, to tighten the rope around her ankles.

another stretching torture was also used.

they and others handcuffed she and then hung her by the handcuffs from an iron bed. her feet were tied together then tied another rope to the rope which bound her feet, and held one end in her hand. when she pulled the rope, her body went up, then came back down.

after pulling her up and down a few times, she pushed her body down very hard. after four days and nights of this torture, her was emaciated. the handcuffs had cut so deeply into her flesh, that it was hard to look at. it took nearly two months for the wounds to heal, and she still had no feeling in her arms and hands, as her nerves and muscles were seriously injured. neither hand could turn inward.

another stretching torture that she was subjected to, called "stretching one's main tendon."

they held she down to the ground, and handcuffed her from behind. they wrapped her mouth and head with toxic industrial tape. her feet were wrapped as well. they called a male guard over.

"they then handcuffed for three days and two nights. the three of them used the 'stretching one's main tendon' torture on her.
they handcuffed each of her hands to steel, 90-degree frames.
the 'stretching one's main tendon,' torture consisted of pulling both handcuffs outward.
when it reached the extreme, they tied the hands tightly with a rope.
as a result, the handcuffs were tightly fastened onto the wrists with the arms being wide open."

they not only stretched her arms, but also stretched their legs.

the guards at the torture camp tried to forcibly "transform" practitioner female victim.
since she refused, they held her down to the ground, used a rope to tie one foot to a heating fixture, and a few of them began stretching her other leg.
when they decided that it wasn't good enough, they let her down temporarily.
a few of them began to pull her legs outwards at the same time.

later they held her down, and with a torture implement, they split her legs as far as possible.
a few guards then stepped on her legs with their heavy shoes.
a few of them held down her head and arms, so that she could not move at all.
they said that this was "up to their standards.

" after she lost consciousness from the pain, they said, "don't stretch her again. look, she already fell asleep!"

another special stretching torture used is forcibly splitting one's legs:

stretching open the arms then handcuffing them. one leg is also handcuffed, so that the person cannot stand still. the more one moves one's body, the tighter the handcuffs become. the leg can become paralyzed within one day of this torture.

was subjected to this stretching torture. one time, a guard tied up her legs, folded them up to press down against her neck, and covered her with a blanket. then each guard pulled one of her legs up, and bent them into a crossed position. when her feet were stretched past her head, they began kicking her hip.
