(Clearwisdom.net reported on April 28) At the Balizhuang Brainwashing Center in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, a steadfast female Dafa practitioner was forced to carry bricks on top of her head. The police set up a special room to torture Dafa practitioners, nailing two steel poles from the floor and ceiling. Female Dafa practitioners were stripped of outer clothing and handcuffed to these two poles with each hand cuffed to one pole. Their feet could not touch the ground and they were tortured in this hanging position. The male persecutors pulled down female Dafa practitioners' pants and grabbed their breasts to humiliate them. They also tied their hands and feet together, then two policemen would stand on each side and raise the practitioner's hands and feet high in the air, then throw the practitioner hard upon the ground. They repeated this torture many times.
Steadfast Dafa practitioners suffered all kinds of inhumane tortures. Two male Dafa practitioners were beaten by the police with a metal pipe so badly that they were half alive, half dead and their bodies were covered with bruises and wounds. One practitioner's eyeball popped out of its socket as a result of the beating and he soon lost consciousness. The police then doused him with cold water to wake him up and continued the torture. The police even heated a fire poker until red-hot and burned Dafa practitioners' necks with it. They also burned Dafa practitioners' feet with cigarettes.
