Radio Free Asia: A Falun Gong Practitioner Condemns the Cruel Persecution by the CCP Using his Personal Experience

In Britain, a Falun Gong practitioner, who was imprisoned in a forced labour camp by the CCP regime and forced to do heavy work there for two years, condemned the cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners being conducted by the CCP. It was reported by Radio Free Asia on December 31st 2005.

Heping Li from Zejiang Province of China recalled how he was locked up in a forced labour camp because he refused to renounce his belief in Falun Gong. He saw with his own eyes and experienced the cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP authorities.

Heping Li said, “I was released in 2003 and put under detention for two years. As I practice Falun Gong, I used to write letters to the government (the CCP regime) and told friends of mine the truth about Falun Gong and the lies told on TV. For that reason, I was taken to a forced labour camp.

Heping Li who was then locked up in Shiliping Forced Labour Camp said: “In the camp, police used all kinds of torture methods to force Falun Gong practitioners to renounce their belief.

He also said, “The excruciating torture was still going on when I got there. It has turned into a spiritual persecution to deprive you of your sleep as its main method. You are not allowed to have a rest at all. In the guard house, very strong light with ultraviolet radiation was used to irradiate you. As time went by, you were unable to tell the difference between day and night. It is routine for police to deprive you of your sleep, which is a method they most often use.

Heping Li went on, “I was deprived of sleep for a long time, shut in the guardhouse, beaten on the face, given nothing to eat or a little to eat. They even put drugs in meals and water. When I was feeling thirsty for a long time, I couldn’t help asking them for some water. At first, they refused. They only gave me a little water after being thirsty for a long time. I was feeling so sick after drinking the water they gave me. I suffered from shock after drinking the water once. I got a very strong smell of drugs in both my nasal cavity and mouth when I came to. The person I saw all became distorted and colours all turned into black blue. Finally, I didn’t even know the time. Their real purpose is to make you feel that this kind of torture is endless.

Although Heping Li has been in the UK for over a year, he has retained a firm in belief in Falun Gong. He said, “Many Falun Gong practitioners are still being shut in forced labour camps now. The CCP must stop this inhuman persecution of Falun Gong practitioners."

"Whenever I recall my sufferings, I feel that I am under great pressure as well, because so many people including friends of mine, they are still being locked up in that forced labour camp even in some other prisons. I must appeal to them, let more people know the truth and stop the persecution of so many innocent people as quickly as possible.”
