(Clearwisdom.net) At the end of July, thousands of Falun Gong practitioners from around the world held anti-torture exhibitions in Boston to expose the Jiang Zemin faction's cruel torture of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Reporters from the Boston Herald witnessed and reported the shocking scenes.

Exposing the torture of practitioners in China

Boston Herald published a report by Jessica Heslam. The article stated, "Bound to a wooden bench with his hands tied behind his back, one man was covered in fake blood as a ''prison guard'' held a plank of wood beneath his neck.

Nearby, a woman's wrists were tied to a wooden scaffold as a guard menaced her with a metal pipe. Another woman sat cross-legged in a tiny cage."

The report continued, "The disturbing sights on Boston Common are part of an exhibit that depicts the brutal torture methods used by China on devotees of Falun Dafa, or Falun Gong, a meditative and exercise technique.

Followers claim more than 1,000 practitioners have been killed while thousands of others are imprisoned and being tortured. More than 3,000 devotees from around the world have descended on the Hub this week, hoping their message is heard by Democrats and others."

The report also interviewed Mary Byrom, a Maine woman who designed the exhibit. She said, ''They do these methods in order to stop them from practicing,''

An American citizen is also being tortured in China. The report stated, "Yeong-ching Foo, 31, said her fiancé, Dr. Charles Lee, who used to practice at Massachusetts General Hospital, has been imprisoned for the past 18 months.

'He went to China trying to expose the persecution of Falun Dafa. It's so hard for me,' said Foo, who said her fiancé is being tortured."
