Righteous Actions in the Wind and Rain

There is a torture room that is used especially to detain Dafa practitioners in Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp. There are two iron hoops fixed to the floor. Dafa practitioners are handcuffed to the iron hoops, and they can't sit down or stand up. Some practitioners are handcuffed in this position for several days and nights. One day, three vicious policemen and two collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have gone astray due to brainwashing and torture] tied me up in a single bed that had steel wires twisted on both sides. They pushed me into the middle of the bed with both arms stretched out, and my hands were cuffed to the steel wires. Then the policemen began to beat and kick me. They tried to seal my mouth with tape and put an earpiece on me that played a recording of slanderous propaganda. But they could not seal up my mouth, and I shouted as usual "Return my Teacher's reputation" and "Falun Dafa is good."
