great." Afterwards, officer He at the No. 1 Division of Xinkaipu Detention
Center and about six on-duty police officers beat him. Zhou has been held in a
solitary cell, which is also his restroom. Policemen often beat practitioner Zhou Xinjiang when he was on the newcomer
team. Zhou went on a hunger strike to protest and was subjected to a torture
called "wrapping up dumplings" by the "personal cangues"
under the orders of officer Zhou from the new-comer team, officer He of the No.
1 Division, and Division head Hu. The "wrapping up dumplings" torture
involves putting a raincoat-like cloth on the detainee who is tied to a metal
bed with many belts, and with a helmet on his/her head. Then detainee is
force-fed with a tube. A practitioner's detention term is extended by a month if he shouts, "Falun
Dafa is good." Before Zhou Xinjiang was put into the solitary compartment,
they gagged him with a towel even when he went to restroom. The police officer urged the "personal cangues" to beat
practitioners, promising the cangues a 20-day reduction of their detention terms
when they did so. The steadfast practitioners were often beaten for this reason. Those who suffered these tortures included practitioners Wang Yeqing, Xie
Huijun, and Lu Hai. Police often forced practitioners to stand facing a wall for
several days. They tortured practitioners with the method "wrapping up
dumplings," extending practitioners' detention terms and locking
practitioners up in a "tight administration" room for a long time. If
the practitioners who just came into the newcomer team refused to give up the
practice or write the three statements they would be punished by
being forced to stand still until 2:00 a.m., and then get up at 5:30 a.m. as
usual. The head of the No. 2 Team declared that practitioners who were found doing
the exercises and shouting slogans would have their hands and feet broken, and
whoever committed the crime would not be held responsible. A practitioner in the
No. 3 Division was beaten to the point of sustaining a foot fracture. 20. [Li County, Hebei Province] Police Arrest Practitioner Zhu Yanfang for
