• The Torture and Harassment I Suffered at the Hands of the Communist Party of Huangyang, Henan Province

  2007-03-12
  My name is Li Cuiying and I am 56 years old. Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its head Jiang Zemin launched the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, I have been arrested four times without any legal process. I was arrested because I wouldn't renounce my belief and I appealed for justice for Falun Dafa and our Teacher [Teacher Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa]. I was tortured inhumanely. Once, when I was in detention with other practitioners, police put heavy ankle shackles on five of us and shackled us together. The shackles were so heavy that even a slight move would cause tremendous pain. We were forced to wear those shackles all day and night, even when we slept or relieved ourselves, for six weeks.

Countless practitioners and their families were compelled to leave their homes to avoid further persecution. Many harmonious families were torn apart.
