French Practitioner’ s Experience from the Tiananmen Square Appeal
2001-12-20Ater ten hours of detention, I felt tired and weary of witnessing the policemen’s constant efforts to ridicule us, submit us to interrogations and repeatedly take pictures of us. When my phone rang, I eagerly took it out of underneath my clothes, tired of having to hide it, eager to hear my French fellow practitioners on the line. That’s when six of them threw themselves at me because I was resisting giving them my portable, my last link to the outside world. A policeman took advantage of the scene and tried to force his hands into my genitals. (Following the advice of a fellow practitioner, I was later able to memorize the number of the policeman who had assaulted me: 013133). -

2001-12-18This time the third police grabbed my head from behind by the side and took a hard grip of my hair and pulled upwards once again trying to have my picture taken. I once again managed without violence to turn to the side, out of their grip, so that they couldn’t take any picture. They tried twice in this way before they let go of me again. They complained and threatened me. The third and last time that they assaulted me they did as they had done the second time only this time a fourth police took a chokehold around my throat. They again tried to bend and lock my arms behind my back, they pulled my head and hair plus that the fourth police tried to take a chokehold and press me down towards the bed to take the photo. I managed to turn awry forward and to the side and protect my face from the camera. They failed in taking any pictures of me and gave up in the end.
