The 20th day of July, 2009, is the ten-year anniversary of when the Chinese Communist Party (the CCP) began its suppression of the spiritual practice of Falun Dafa also known as Falun Gong by Physical torture and mental torture to force Falun Gong adherents to give up their beliefs. Just the opposite, not only the adherents are affirmative on their beliefs but also survived the CCP’s brutal religious persecution. Following is the recording of Peter and his translator taken at A Decade of Courage Rally. Peter, a courageous Falun Gong practitioner, and his memoir of how he was kidnapped, imprisoned, tortured, sleep deprived, forced feeding, forced slave laboring, brainwashing re-education, has revealed the true nature of the CCP. In order to protect Peter’s family from being harrassed by the Chinese policemen back home we do not announce Peter’s Chinese name. We are glad that he made his way to the religious freedom country, the United States, and now he can practice his beliefs with peace of mind. Here is Peter and his translator:

[recording]

July 20 is a day that deserves commemorating. On this day ten years ago, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used every means possible to defame and persecute Falun Gong. Their fabricated propaganda even reached overseas and harmed many innocent people who did not understand the true situation. Having personally experienced this period of history, I can testify to the tyranny of the CCP and the kindness and perseverance of Falun Gong practitioners.

Before the crackdown on Falun Gong, the CCP pretended to allow freedom of belief. On July 20, 1999, they used the media to frame and threaten Falun Gong. They used police to arrest and beat adherents. Suddenly, it felt like evil descended and lies turned the world upside down.

On July 20, 1999, my wife and I went to appeal at the provincial government. Because our appeal had no effect, we went to Beijing to appeal. That day, the city was filled with police and armed police. I witnessed them arresting Falun Gong practitioners. My wife and my presence noticed by the plain-clothes police, and they began following us. The atmosphere was terrifying and tense.

Within two minutes of returning home from Beijing, the local police took us to the police station without any proper procedure or warrant. We were interrogated like criminals. We were not released till late into the night.

My company consequently also received pressure and harassment from the CCP. The manager told me that they received dozens of calls in a day to request that the company transform me, make me give up practicing Falun Gong and guarantee that I would not go to Beijing again.

Because I persevered in my beliefs, I was illegally sentenced to 7 years in jail by the CCP on March 2003. During that time, I experienced cruel torture, brainwashing and salve labor as well as a variety of mental and physical destruction and persecution.

In 2001, several police abducted me using gangster methods. They took me to a hotel. They interrogated and tortured me nonstop for four days and four nights under blinding lights. They used both hard and soft tactics. When their threats failed, they stripped me of my clothes. Then they hung me on the window frame so that my feet barely touched the floor.

They sealed my mouth with tape. They screamed and yelled as they stuck lit cigarettes into my nostrils.Whenever I became silent, they would either aggressively pull my hair over and over again or abruptly yank my body downward. The most vicious torture was called “shaking handcuffs”. This is a method used to force confessions out of murderers. They cuffed one of my hands to the top corner of the window frame so that my feet barely touched the floor. A policeman surnamed Yang cuffed my other hand and violently shook it in the opposite direction. After shaking me like that for a period of time, they would take me down and slap my blackened wrists. Then they would hang me back up and cuff me again. I was shaken so hard that my body was ripping with pain. I even had thoughts of wanting to die.

They also hang me on the window frame while twisting my neck. When they couldn’t turn my neck any further, they would fiercely snap it toward the opposite direction. At that very instant, I felt factures in my neck. During those four days and four nights, I never once got any sleep or food. I was continuously tortured and assaulted. I lost a lot of hair, my wrists became black, my tissues were exposed and I had lost a lot of weight.

After the torture, I was sent to a detention center. The police never notified my family or made any documentations. They used all thuggish means. At the detention center, I was forced to do over 16 hours of slave labor every day. Over 20 people were squeezed into a room not much bigger than 10 square meters in area. We had no hot water, were not allowed to brush our teeth, and had limited bathroom times. We were verbally abused and humiliated every day. Because the room was dark, damp and without clean water, I developed scabies all over my body. They were unbelievably itchy. I was locked up for over a year like this.

In June 2002, I was sent to Lujiang jail. I was locked up in a cell that could only fit one person. There was nothing there but a wooden bed. Two days later, I found out that only Falun Gong practitioners and the mentally ill were detained there.

I fasted twice to protest being persecuted for practicing Falun Gong. When I left the prison a month later, I looked like a holocaust survivor. I could barely see and needed to prop myself up against the wall to walk.

Before I got there, the head person Li Qinhua held a meeting and told over a hundred people that if other criminals talked to me, their sentences would not be reduced. In addition, the prisoners had to monitor me and report my every action to the police. If I needed something, I had to report it to the police. Three prisoners on death row were assigned to monitor me 24 hours a day. Another 3 people were assigned to monitor those who assigned to monitor me. Every day, they had to write a report, detailing all my actions, including sleep and bathroom times. They weren’t allowed to lend me anything, not even a piece of scratch paper.

The police used sentence reduction as bribery for the criminals who monitored me and to tried to collapse my determination and destroy my faith. This type of terror and threat surrounded me. I witnessed a 23-year-old Falun Gong practitioner being tortured to death. His name was Chu Zhiyong. My heart tightened. It was a sense of pain from being enveloped by terror. I reminded myself everyday that I needed to continue living so that I can expose their evilness.

In addition to physical torture, there was mental torture. Once you were sent to jail, you were forced to write reports about your thought processes. Every year, the jail supervisors sent agents to “transform” Dafa practitioners. We were forced to watch videos defaming Falun Gong and write “learned experience” statements based on their standards. They tried to force us to give up the faith to Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. If you didn’t “transform”, you were not allowed to see your family members and not allowed to buy things, including toilet paper.

I returned home after over five years of torture. But I didn’t get true freedom back. The CCP used various methods to tell me that I could no longer have freedom. I was added to the blacklist by the CCP and often received their harassment.

During one of my business trips, the local police search my belongings for Falun Gong books without any warrant. They threatened that I should not go anywhere by myself, and that there would be random inspections. The police also told my business partners and landlord that I was a Falun Gong criminal. My landlord was asked to stop letting me rent housing, and my partners were forbidden from doing business with me. This type of harassment never ceased since my release. Neighbors and friends were all afraid to come to my home because of the fear of being implicated. This type monitoring made me live every moment of my life in terror.

My experience is only one page in the tragedy of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. During these past ten years of persecution, many people were imprisoned, made homeless, used for organ harvesting, and many families have been destroyed. Today, we definitely cannot ignore the CCP’s trampling of the China and the Chinese people. We call on the all righteous forces in the world to disintegrate the CCP, stop the persecution, and bury the CCP, an evil demon that harms humankind.

[ending of recording]

Is there any other government in the world besides The CCP utilized such horrendous torture methods to its own people? The CCP severely violated the international human rights code is unpardonable and criminal. Clearly, by looking at the drastically increasing number of resinding membership to the CCP in China, as of today, there are 57 million Chinese quit the CCP, the date of dissolving of the CCP is numbered.

The penal of this hearing were David Matas, a Canadian Human Rights Lawyer, and co-author of Organ Harvesting Report on Falun Gong Prractitioners, Ethan Gutmann, author of The Lost of New China, Willy Fautre, Chairman of Human Rights No Boundary, Weigwan Zhong, resides in Germany, a specialist of the study of totalitarianism, and activist of Liberty of Chinaese Culture, Elping Zhang, Falun Gong spokesperson, Also, tele-conference joined by Fengzhi Li, former Chinese espionage agent in China, who recently rescind membership to the CCP with his real name.

We will now listen to Canadian Human rights Lawyer David Matas’ report.

David Kilgour and I wrote a report on organ harvesting on Falun Gong practitioners in China which is on Internet, which came to the conclusions that the Falun Gong practitioners are being killed and their organs are being harvested and their organs are being sold to the transplant tourists and the conclusions we came was that this was happening to Falun Gong practitioners and to Falun Gong practitioners only.

The only other source of organs there were victims in this way were prisoners sentenced to death. Prisoners sentenced to death have been source from many years of the past. The volume of transplants shoot up with victimization of Falun Gong and the source was Falun Gong practitioners? Now we came to the conclusion that was only Falun Gong.

Obviously we cannot interview the people who was organ harvested, but we interviewed many people who had been in Chinese prisons and who has got off from the prisons and got off from China and what they uniformly told us Falun gong practitioners and none Falun Gong practitioners alike was that there were only Falun Gong practitioners and prisoners sentenced to death who in prison were blood tested and organ examined. And blood testing is essential for organ transplant because you need to compare the blood compatibility between the source and patient in order to have a transplant so what we
were getting was only Falun Gong practitioners. One of the questions we have to address why only Falun Gong practitioners?

There were many people in Chinese prisons and many people in prisons are for their believes. China doesn’t tolerate any believe systems; it does control the churches; who does authorize because it does control them someway or the other. But as far as we can tell it was only the Falun Gong they were being organ pillaged or organs sourced or organs seized.

Now there were a couple of superficial explanations for this. There was one that there was a large number of Falun Gong practitioners in prisons which meant there was a large organ source bank, which really needed to have organ transplant functioning effectively. We can also see in a term of a vocabulary that infective the communist Party used to against Falun Gong far exceeded the infective used against any other chosen enemies calling them “evil cult” so on and whereas the Tibetans they call them splitters, it was just a different vocabulary. Those were superficial explanations because the
questions become why were they using this excessive vocabulary against Falun Gong and why were they detaining Falun Gong in such numbers.

So I want today to just run through I identified a dozen different reasons and explanations why the Falun Gong became the number one target of all the various targets that China has decided to pick upon. We can see it is not for organ sourcing but you torture according to Manfred Nowak they represents two third of the torture victims and next largest number are Uighur 11% and everybody else is single digit. When you can see a huge detention centre labour camps U.S. department said half of the people in Labour Camps are (Falun Gong practitioners) We have got a huge number of death and disappearances over 3000 identified deaths and so on. Why, the nature of the communist party is repressive country of belief, on all the country all the independent beliefs picking up Falun Gong more than on any others.

One of the explanations I would say first of all simply the numbers. There were even government indicated there were more Falun Gong practitioners before it was banned than there were the members of Communist Party. These people at the time were not anti-communist but certainly not communist either. That causes the Party concern.

The second, it simply they need for enemies, the communist party, they have to justify the power someway. One of the ways it does manufacture enemies and the Falun Gong represents a good target simply because the large numbers.

The third, the ethnic of the Falun Gong, which is in nutshell, is compassion, tolerance and truthfulness. The principle has to give the communist caused concern, because they state themselves were cruel, intolerant and dishonest. And had a necessity to drag the country into this.

The fourth was the collapse of the Soviet Union and communist through out the eastern to the central Europe not that long before, which gave them and caused concern and then seen tens of million people don’t believe what they believe in frighten them.

The fifth: the lack of structure of Falun Gong. Falun Gong is not a people and it is not a organization. It is not a movement it is an exercise. It is a set of exercises with a spiritual foundation. Now with the Roman Catholics, the communist appointed a bishop, with the Muslims they appointed Yemenis? With Buddhists they appointed the Lama, but they couldn’t do that with Falun Gong. Because It doesn’t have a structure that allows for.

The sixth phenomenon was the mirror imaging. The Chinese communist party thought the Falun Gong as they saw themselves as an organization with a structure even though it wasn’t. When you hammer everything looking like nail absolutely saw the group of people they were doing things at the same time the same place and they thought there was an organization there. And that concerned them.

The seventh was the mobilization deposity We heard what the Government said, there were people who were able to gather ,to gather into a large group at the same time at the same place and that gave them constant concern.

The eighth was the use of modern technology. The Falun Gong community was able to get together with use of the internet, with use of the cell phones and the communist party hasn’t seen that before in China and they won’t be really familiar with the phenomenon because they are not aware of this was happening in this way, it was fueled into paranoia and feeling as if it was structured.

The ninth was what I would call petty personal jealousy of Jiang Zemin. Because we heard a lot of anecdota information about Jiang Zemin. At one time it simply isolated of leading this charge against the Falun Gong and one can see as he is the author of three representatives which was attempting to explain the communists in a post-socialist world which nobody could understand. Wikipedia which attempt to neutral course incomprehensible, they had no one following, no comprehension. In the mean time, at the same time, outsider Li Hongzhi writes this book which gets the following of tens of million of Chinese and Jiang Zemin seems simply to be jealous of Li Hongzhi.

The tenth is the phenomenon of the people in prison; Falun Gong in prison, many of them, most of them who don’t identify themselves once they get arrested. This was done in order to protect the people back home, who didn’t turn them in maybe they should do, the friends and relatives the workplace but as a result, nobody knew where they were nobody knew why they were in prison and they became particularly vulnerable. It was a lot easier to do to somebody who had no identity than to
somebody who was identifiable.

The eleventh, it is simply that this crime was easier to get away with because these people were not known outside of China; the words Falun Gong don’t mean anything in English. This was a group where it was easier to spread, liable to against them because if you are liable of Roman Catholic as good as the way Chinese people do outside known enough about the religion to know what the Chinese are saying. It is nonsense when they liable the Falun Gong. People don’t know enough about Falun Gong to know whether the Chinese Government’s saying is true. And it demobilized the concern.

The last phenomenon is the Chinese roots of Falun Gong. The Falun Gong is based on Buddhism and Tao principles from Qi Gong exercises regime so it is authentically Chinese and the communism, of course, it was Western thoughts, so what we have it is a movement in China at the time the collapse of communist world-wide. And it is based on Chinese tradition. The Chinese Communists can see this movement just wiping away the Communism completely. That scares them.

As a result we have a group who were victimized more than anyone else, worse than anyone else, and we have to be concerned the fact that they don’t have or they didn’t before they started in 1992, had counterparts in the west. Shouldn’t get us, or distant us from this phenomenon. They share our common humanity. What is happening in China is genocide crime against humanity. We have to do what we can to stop it.

Thank you very much.

David Matas further expressed his view in the interview, by the SOH staff reporter after the hearing, of what outside China can do to stop the genocide crime in China. Following is the interview

[INTERVIEWING]

with the increasing awakened Chinese inside China quiting the CCP, and with kind hearted people ourtside of China aware of the genocide crime that the repressive CCP committed, we can for sure counting down the dates of dissolving of the Chinese Communist Party. Thank you for listening. This has been Catherine Hennessy for the Sound of Hope Radio Network.
