Torture Methods Used to Coerce People to Hail Communism, Renounce Faith
We have 108 types of torture methods! Do you think you'll leave here alive?’

In its 2021 annual report, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has categorized China as one of the world’s key countries ambitiously engaged in “egregious violations” of religious freedom and human rights.
Commissioner Gary L. Bauer said in the report that communist China had been denying its citizens “the right to seek and worship God.”
The victims who survive the CCP-led violent suppression or who are able to escape and seek refuge in other countries have been bravely stepping forward to expose the inhumane treatment and torture being carried out behind the communist regime’s impenetrable terror walls of prisons, forced labor camps, and “reeducation” centers.
The CCP officials and guards have devised many torture methods to painfully coerce these religious believers—be it Christians, Uyghurs, Falun Gong practitioners, or Buddhists—to renounce their faith and hail the communist party as supreme, enshrining it even above the divine.
Minghui.org, a U.S.-based all-volunteer organization dedicated to reporting on the persecution of Falun Gong in China, has documented over 100 torture methods routinely used to coerce these meditation practitioners, with many of the methods also being employed on other religious believers. Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a mind-body practice that includes meditative exercises and moral teachings centered around the core tenets “truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.” The practice has been persecuted by the CCP since July 1999, and tens of thousands of adherents have been arrested, detained, and tortured.
According to a Minghui.org report, the head of the No. 3 Division at the Jilin Women’s Forced Labor Camp, in Jilin Province, openly threatened a Falun Gong practitioner, saying, “We have 108 types of torture methods! Do you think you’ll leave here alive?”
Here are some of the most inhumane torture techniques commonly used in communist China’s jails, labor camps, and “reeducation” centers.
Hanging Bricks Around the Neck
Hanging heavy objects around the neck is one of the most common torture methods used to break the spirit of determined Falun Gong practitioners.
An ex-convict, who had his sentence reduced by 8 years for helping to torture prisoners of conscience, including Falun Gong practitioners and members of The Church of Almighty God (CAG), recounted to Bitter Winter how inmates torture the believers.
“The means to transform believers varied—from regular beatings to torture, like keeping believers in cold water in sub-zero temperature or hanging a 10-kg water bucket around their neck,” the former inmate said. “The prison guards would pretend not to see these violent acts.”
Whipping
“Whipping people is such a tiring job!” said inmate Gao Minglong at the Siping Prison in Jilin Province, after he stripped Falun Gong practitioner Liang Zhenxing naked and started whipping him on the back.
“I hadn’t beaten anyone for years. I had so much fun today! Whoever refuses to listen to me, come here and I’ll teach you a lesson!” Gao added, according to a witness who saw the torture, Minghui.org reported. Liang died in May 2010 due to whipping and other torture.
Electric Shocks
Electrocution is one of the routine torture methods used on religious followers of all faiths. An elderly Christian man from the CAG in China’s Jiangsu Province was arrested in July 2020 and severely tortured during the interrogation, according to a report by Bitter Winter.
Sexual Abuse
The CCP has constantly used gang rape and sexual abuse as a genocidal tool to eliminate faith and to persecute those who refuse to submit to the communist ideologies.
Often, detained Falun Gong adherents who go on extended hunger strikes to protest their unlawful arrest are brutally force-fed by having their mouths pried open, which leads not only to damaged teeth and gums but, at times, to severe mishaps. Policemen, doctors, and prison guards team up to force-feed them “meals” laced with toxic nerve-damaging drugs, mixed with hot chili peppers, salty water, and even feces.
