Czech News Agency (CTK): Falun Gong Members Show Chinese Torture Methods
Practitioners of Falun Gong showed methods of torture used by Chinese
authorities to terrorize their fellow practitioners in China on Prague's Old
Town Square today in an effort to inform people about persecution of the
movement in China and attract signatures to a petition for the release of
prisoners. Millions of people in China joined the movement, which espouses truth,
compassion and tolerance, in the 1990s before it was banned in 1999 by the
communist regime. Thousands are said to have been executed and about 100,000 imprisoned in the
persecution of the movement. Siung Wei, a Falun Gong practitioner, said today that she was imprisoned,
beaten and worked slave labor. She worked sewing gloves, sweaters and socks,
which are then exported and sold in Europe. Eventually, pressure from abroad supporting her led to her release. Today, she has asylum in Germany and works on fighting for freedom for her
fellow practitioners of Falun Gong.
