Burning

A Falun Gong adherent is depicted being burned with cigarettes and a hot iron.

Hundreds of reports have emerged from China of police and labor camp authorities burning Falun Gong practitioners with cigarettes, car lighters, irons, and hot metal rods as a way to force them to give up their belief. Sometimes, hot irons are heated to be red-hot, then used to burn practitioners’ flesh or pierce their nipples. Many have reported being burned repeatedly with cigarettes, including on their faces, necks, and genitals.
