Yang Hengjun:
“The first six months, when I was in RSDL [residential surveillance at a designated location – a type of secret detention], was a really bad period. They tortured me.”

Also, Yang Hengjun claims he is 100% innocent & wants any confessions he made as a result of torture to be excluded
But odds are not good. @amnesty looked at the extreme difficulty in excluding unlawfully obtained evidence in this report:

Just using common sense, what is a judge to do?
If it's true that he was interrogated by 300 people, and held in RSDL (which the UN has condemned), what is a judge to do in the face of such a systematic torture system?
"Hey guys, I think what we're doing is against the rules?"
