Handcuffing the practitioner onto a torture chair from behind his back. Then, a criminal would step his foot on the iron chains in between the handcuffs.

Also they might use an electric baton to shock the practitioner or pour cold water on the practitioner.

In 2002, Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp established the No. 5 Division -- special administrative class. Falun Gong practitioners were sent to this class in groups for further cruel persecution. The Forced Labor Camp also set up a special education class to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. During these classes the police guards used brutal methods to torture Falun Gong practitioners.

This iron cage at the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp is about 1.5 meters tall, 70 centimeters in width and about 1 meter in length. A person is unable to stand up straight. He must bend his back and lower his head. The police guards handcuff the practitioner’s hands to the top of the iron cage; therefore the practitioner can neither stand straight up nor squat down. One can only do a half squat. It does not take long for the muscles to be stressed and sore in this excruciatingly position. The practitioner is handcuffed and held in this position 24 hours a day.

After practitioners were handcuffed and hung onto the bed frame or prison bars, the prison guards or their assistants punched their chests and abdomens, kicked them forcefully and hit the practitioners with their knees. Some of the practitioners began to spit up blood because their internal organs were damaged from this abuse. (See Illustration 6) Falun Dafa practitioner Qiu Baoxue and a practitioner from Shuangcheng City were beaten up like this for more than ten days. Qiu Baoxue suffered from great pain because the tight fitting handcuffs cut into his wrists and hurt the bones. Thus, his two arms were crippled and he was unable to pick up or carry anything.

In order to torture steadfast practitioners, police place a type of electronic device onto the practitioners’ heads or chests, which results in their instant collapse. This torture device can severely damage the brain and internal organs, resulting in loss of memory, confusion, lack of energy, extreme pain, but no visible injuries to the surface of the body, because the damage is inflicted by sound waves or vibrations.
