Introduction
(Minghui.org) 3,649 Falun Gong practitioners have been confirmed dead as a result of persecution and torture in China as of March 1, 2013. Because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has used its vast resources to cover up its crimes, the confirmed death toll is just a fraction of the actual total. The true number is certainly far higher.
53% of those confirmed dead were women.
In fact, tens of thousands of female practitioners have been subjected to unspeakable abuse, including rape, forced abortions, detention, physical torture, injection of unknown substances, and even live organ harvesting. And in addition, countless families have been broken apart.
This article presents an in-depth report of numerous cases
of various types of sexual abuse and torture
perpetrated against women who practice Falun Gong.
We hope that readers can develop an appreciation for the severity of the situation and will do whatever lies within their power to help these atrocities stop.
Practicing Falun Gong is not a crime. Freedom of belief is a right entrenched in China’s constitution, yet the Chinese Communist Party has relentlessly persecuted Falun Gong for almost fourteen years. Who will you support in your heart? The peaceful spiritual practice that has brought numerous benefits to the lives of millions worldwide? Or the brutal and corrupt regime that persecutes it?

Part A - Women Tortured to Death
Interrogation under torture is a common method the CCP uses in its attempt to make practitioners succumb to pressure. More than 40 torture methods are known to be used by the regime, and a significant portion of the victims are women and the elderly. This vicious cruelty has resulted in the deaths or permanent disability of many innocent people.
The CCP uses more than 40 torture methods to brutalize Falun Gong practitioners
Wang Yuhuan : Layers of Blood Soaked Clothes, Dies of Torture-induced Injuries
Ms. Wang Yuhuan of Changchun, Jilin Province was detained more than ten times and sent to forced labor camps nine times before she died.
After Ms. Wang was arrested on March 11, 2002, Gao Peng and Zhang Heng tied her up and stuffed her in the trunk of their car before driving her to a torture chamber the following night. They tied her legs to a tiger bench and made her sit upright with her arms tied behind her back. Then, every five minutes they subjected her to a torture method known as the “big shake-and-press.”
“Shake and press” refers to a torture method in which the perpetrators shake the victim’s tied-back arms back and forth, leaving her with disjointed bones and in excruciating pain.
They also shoved Ms. Wang’s head down as far as possible towards her legs until her neck felt like it was going to break. In the meantime, they pulled her ankles hard, causing her unbearable pain. She quivered and passed out numerous times as a result.
Very quickly Ms. Wang’s hair and clothes were soaked with her sweat, tears and blood. Every time she passed out, they alternately poured cold and boiling water over her to make her wake up. The boiling hot water burned her already-damaged skin.
Wang Yuhuan
After more than four hours of being tortured on a tiger bench and burned with cigarettes, Ms. Wang passed out again unable to endure the cigarette smoke. The perpetrators poured cold water on her to awaken her and burned her eyes with lit cigarettes. Two of her incisor teeth were knocked out and her face became swollen and black and blue. She also lost hearing in both ears.
During the 17 days of her detention, Ms. Wang was tied to the tiger bench three times, each torture session worse than the previous one. At one point the police put a heavy sweater and sweatpants on her in order to prevent others from seeing her bloodied body, but the clothes were soon soaked with her blood. They added another layer of even heavier clothes, only to have them also soon become soaked with blood.
Although Ms. Wang’s body had totally given out and she was on the brink of death after being repeatedly tortured, the police sent her to a prison hospital for further persecution.
As soon as she arrived, she was tied to a bed and injected with some unknown substance. Her legs became numb and her feet felt cold afterwards. She was also sexually abused.
After she was released, Ms. Wang said that she and other female practitioners were all stripped naked and tied up on wooden boards for a total of 26 days, during which time the police, doctors and male inmates kept humiliating them.
On May 9, 2007, Ms. Wang was arrested again and interrogated that same night by agents from the Domestic Security Division. When she was released, she had wounds all over her body and her internal organs were badly damaged. She had trouble swallowing and couldn’t walk by herself. She died on September 24, 2007, at the age of 52.
Barely Breathing, Yu Xiuling Thrown from the Fourth Floor to Her Death
Yu Xiuling
Ms. Yu Xiuling, 32, was a practitioner from Chaoyang County, Liaoning Province. She was taken from her home to Shijiazi Detention Center on September 14, 2001. A few days later at 8 a.m. on September 19, she was transferred to Longcheng Police Department for interrogation.
After 13 hours of torture, she was barely breathing. In order to cover up their crimes, the police threw her from the fourth floor and cremated her body around midnight that same day.
Wu Jingxia Beaten to Death on the Third Day of Her Detention
Wu Jingxia and Her Son
Ms. Wu Jingxia, a practitioner from Weifang, Shandong Province, was arrested, detained, beaten and had money extorted from her numerous times. She was arrested while distributing truth-clarification materials on the morning of January 17, 2002.
The police took her to Chanyeyuan Police Station and cuffed her hands to a radiator. The next day she was transferred to Kuiwen District Brainwashing Center, where she died on the third day of her detention. She was only 29 years old.
When her family saw her body, they noticed wounds all over it. Her face was covered with a bath tissue and blood was still oozing out of her mouth.
Her back was black and purple and her neck had a long, red cut. When they changed her clothes, they saw that her hip bone was broken and the bone was protruding out of her flesh.
Still a nursing mother, Ms. Wu wasn’t able to pump her milk during the three days of her detention and her breasts became very swollen as a result. Seeing her breasts were swollen and already painful, the police deliberately shocked her on the breasts with electric batons.
After she died, her family’s phone was tapped and her loved ones’ freedom was compromised.
Shi Yongqing is Sold by Party Official, Later Raped and Tortured to Death
Shi Yongqing
Ms. Shi Yongqing, a peasant from Qizhou Town, Anguo City, Hebei Province, was detained numerous times for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She became mentally disoriented in 2001 due to the torture she endured at Baoding Forced Labor Camp.
In order to escape responsibility, Qizhou Town CCP Secretary Cao sold Ms. Shi to Ding Village in Ding County, where she was abused and raped.
Ms. Shi later sued Cao for human trafficking, but she was sent to a forced labor camp. After she was released from the camp, she was sent straight to Zhuozhou Brainwashing Center,where she died as a result of torture on January 27, 2005, at the age of 35.
The local police department stopped her family from requesting an autopsy and gave them 1,000 yuan to silence them. Her family had to bury her soon afterwards. Her young child had to withdraw from school since there was no caregiver anymore. Traumatized, her father had a stroke and lost vision in one eye.
Part B - Women Gang-Raped
In addition to physical torture, the CCP has consistently and systematically used rape as a means to humiliate and traumatize female practitioners.
Torture Illustration: Perpetrators Sexually Abuse Female Practitioners
Rape is Routinely Used to Abuse Female Falun Gong Practitioners

In addition to instigating the abuse, the CCP connives with and protects thugs that sexually abuse female practitioners at will. These villains include police, 610 Office agents and the crooks instigated by police.
- On the night of May 13, 2003, a graduate student named Wei Xingyan from Chongqing was raped in front of two female inmates at Baihelin Detention Center in Shapingba. Afterwards, at least ten practitioners were sentenced to 5 to 14 years for exposing this “state secret” of rape by police.

Dalian Forced Labor Camp: Unspeakable Sexual Abuse of Female Practitioners
In order to force the few hundreds of detained female practitioners to give up their belief in Falun Gong, Dalian Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province resorted to unspeakable sexual abuse that caused the victims irreparable physical and mental damage.
- Ms. Chang Xuexia was stripped of her clothes and brutally beaten. Directed by guard Wan Yalin, a group of thugs pinched Ms. Chang’s nipples and the hair on her genitals and inserted a toothbrush into her vagina. Seeing no blood coming out, they switched to a larger brush and shoved it into her vagina.- Ms. Wang Lijun was tortured by having a thick rope rubbed back and forth against her genitals on three occasions. The thugs also used a broken wooden stick with sharp ends to stab into her vagina, causing her abdomen and genital area to hemorrhage and swell a great deal. She couldn’t pull up her pants nor could she squat down. She had great trouble urinating.Torture Reenactment: Shoe Brush Thrust into Vagina- Ms. Fu Shuying was tied on a bed spread-eagle for more than one hour, during which time the thugs stabbed her vagina with a stick, causing her vagina to become inflamed and infected. They also used a toothbrush and shoved it into her vagina, causing profuse bleeding. They then pumped chili water into her vagina.- Ms. Zhong Shujuan was tortured by having a brush used to clean the toilet shoved into her vagina; she hemorrhaged as a result.- Ms. Sun Yan was stabbed in her vagina and blood kept oozing out.

Abuses at the Notorious Masanjia Forced Labor Camp
Masanjia Forced Labor Camp (in Liaoning Province) guards not only sent naked female practitioners into men’s cells to be gang raped but also forced them to bare themselves in front of video cameras in order to further humiliate them. The guards also made the women stand naked outside in the snow to freeze them. The thugs even inserted electric batons into the women’s vaginas and shocked them.
In early 2003, Guo Tieying and a few other guards shocked Ms. Wang Yunjie on the breasts with two electric batons simultaneously for several hours non-stop. As a result, Ms. Wang’s breasts were completely ruptured.
The next day, the guards crossed Ms. Wang’s legs on top of each other and tied her head to her legs so tightly that she looked like a ball. They then handcuffed her hands behind her back and hung her up by the handcuffs for seven straight hours. She was rendered unable to sit, stand or walk afterwards.
The guards figured Ms. Wang only had a few weeks to live so they told her family to come and get her in November 2003. After her release, her breasts kept festering more and more. She passed away in July 2006.

Ms. Guo Min Dies a Miserable and Lonely Death after More Than Ten Years of Suffering at Mental Hospitals
Prior to being arrested, Ms. Guo Min worked at Xima Town Branch Office of Laishui County Tax Bureau in Hubei Province. Because she refused to give up her belief in Faun Gong, she was first sent to Kangtai Mental Hospital in Huangguan City in 2000 and transferred to the Red Cross Mental Hospital two years later.
The more than eight years of detention at the second hospital caused tremendous damage to her physical and mental health.
The drug poisoning and mental torment stopped her menstrual periods for six years and caused her belly to swell as big as that of a nine-month-pregnant woman. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July 2010.
Misled by the CCP’s lies, Ms. Guo’s family was afraid of being harassed and thus for many years they were unwilling to appeal for her release. Ms. Guo died with no one by her side on August 4, 2011, at the age of 38.
During her final days at the hospital, Ms. Guo was incontinent and had nobody to take care of her.
Banqian Women’s Forced Labor Camp in Tianjin Drugs Practitioners
The guards threatened determined practitioners that the consequence of refusing to “reform” was being tortured and abused into mental illness. They secretly placed unknown drugs that damage the central nervous system into practitioners’ meals, drinks and IV drips.

On February 23, 2011, Detention Center Head Yan Yong led a few people to hold Ms. Song down on the bed and handcuffed her. They quickly gave her a whole bottle of IV drips filled with unknown substances. She immediately felt great discomfort and rolled around on the ground unable to talk.
Afterwards, she lost feeling below her knees. Her body and tongue were stiff and she couldn’t walk. She also became incontinent and got weaker and weaker. Her mind was very slow in responding to things.
