Torture by Barbaric Force-Feeding Kills Two Practitioners at Baoding Forced Labor Camp
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Zhang Yiqin and Ms. Ma Zhangmei were both subjected to cruel force-feeding methods, a form of torture that caused their deaths by suffocation.
At the Baoding Forced Labor Camp, in Hebei Province, each Falun Dafa practitioner who went on a hunger strike was handcuffed to a chair. Their heads were then forcibly pulled back, stretching their necks over the tops of the chair backs. At the same time, police forcefully pushed their heads back and down as far as possible. The practitioner's neck was held immobile against the top of the chair, and her head was pushed down to the limit, virtually flattening and closing the esophagus. Then the police would hold the practitioners' nostrils shut with their hands, and use a large knife to wedge open their mouths, causing their mouths to bleed. Finally, they forced food down their mouths. This torturous method of force-feeding can easily result in death by suffocation because the nasal passages are blocked and the mouth is stuffed full of food that is unable to enter the blocked esophagus. Falun Dafa practitioners who have survived this kind of torture have said they believe it to be more painful than death itself.
