(Clearwisdom.net) During the New Year's Day (January 1st) period, the Chongqing City (Sichuan Province) police illegally arrested over 50 Falun Dafa practitioners and ruthlessly tortured them. According to inside information from the police, they arrested many practitioners in order to compete for jobs. With jobs at stake, they stopped at nothing to use even more vicious means to persecute practitioners. For example, they cuffed practitioners' hands and feet together and violently beat them, and they interrogated the practitioners for as long as several dozen hours at a time. Some practitioners' hands were beaten until the bones were broken. They strung up a 60-year-old lady using handcuffs with her arms spread-eagled for about 16 hours. They did not allow her to use the toilet, eat, or sleep. At the same time, they used a light bulb to scorch her. As a result, she lost control of her bowels and bladder.
A lady of about 50 years of age was hung from an iron window bar by the handcuffs with her feet barely touching the ground. In the winter, they used electric fans to blow wind on her to make her even colder and suffer more. During the daytime, they took turns interrogating her, while during the night, they shone strong bulbs of several hundred watts onto her face so that she could not sleep. Using these methods, they tortured her for more than 50 hours to force her to tell the location of Dafa material sites. However, she did not cooperate with the police from beginning to end.
Those practitioners who are still illegally detained are suffering inhuman torture. Practitioners from all over the world, please send forth righteous thoughts together to eliminate the persecution of Dafa practitioners by the evil forces in Chongqing area.
