Kui Huang’s Stories of The CCP’s Crime Against Basic Human Rights

On July 18th, 2008, Falun Gong practitioners from all over the world and people from all walks of life gathered together in front of the White House to appeal the persecution of Falun Gong. The persecution of Falun Gong, by the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has lasted for a total of 9 years. Over 3000 people are confirmed to have been tortured to death during this grueling 9 years taken from incomplete statisitics. The actual number is suspected to be much higher. Some of those who went to appeal have personally gone through the persecution and witnessed the CCP’s brutality.

Mr. Kui Huang, who has a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Tsinghua University, and is a recipient of the Zheng Geru Scholarship, was illegally jailed for 5 years because he is a Falun Gong practitioner. He suffered from many excruciating types of torture in prison.

“One method of torture often used was sleep deprivation. Once they wouldn’t let me sleep for a whole month.

Sometimes I was only allowed to sleep for several minutes a day. At that time, I could even fall asleep while standing. Seven or more other prisoners were sent to watch over me 24/7, even during my trips to the bathroom. If I showed any sign of drowsiness they would immediately shove me in order to wake me up. The long sleep deprivation is actually very inhumane form of persecution and it does damage to the human body both physically and mentally.”

He was forced to keep squatting for a consecutive 3 days and was not allowed to stand up even once. His legs suffered from indescribable affliction. He was also frequently beaten or shocked by electric batons.

“My arms were pulled behind my back and cuffed. More than 10 policemen, wearing heavy leather boots, kicked me at the same time. When I was forced to the ground, those policemen continued to shock me with electric batons. Electric shocks all over my body… including many sensitive parts, like ears, palms, very sensitive parts. I was in extreme agony and underwent dramatic convulsions.”

He protested against the torture by refusing to eat, but drew even more brutal persecution.

“To force feed me, they chained my arms and legs, and pried my teeth open with metal pliers, pinched my nose, and held my throat open with chopsticks and threw lumps of porridge into my mouth. If I breathed, I would inhale the porridge. I didn’t even know if it flew into my trachea or esophagus. That was great pain.”

Another form of torture was called “Flying an Airplane”. This form looks rather
simple, but it is able to torture people to death. “Wooden planks were nailed together to form a cross. My wrists and ankles were chained to the ends of the cross and kept that way for a very long time. My limps were sore and tingling. It felt as if my veins were frozen that way. Ordinary people could hardly withstand this kind of torture.

However strong a man’s will is, he couldn’t help but shudder upon hearing the word ‘airplane’.”

Mr. Huang said, although suffering from the most inhumane tortures of the CCP, there are still many Falun Gong practitioners in China, holding firm to their belief of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.

“The principle of Falun Gong is to teach us to be a good person, a better person, a person beneficial to the society. Its emphasis on cultivating one’s morality attracts me. Nowadays, the moral standard of the whole society is declining at an alarming rate; people are so attached to material comfort and their own desires. Falun Gong practitioners who cultivate their morality can effectively stabilize this society, and help restore the moral standard. Falun Gong is like a clear stream, washing away the dirt in people’s heart.”

Mr. Huang also pointed out that what the CCP fears most is for its people to know the truth.

“Think about it. Falun Gong, the cultivation method, could attract millions of practitioners from all walks of life, from all levels of the society. Besides, the practitioners are still holding fast to their faith even with nine years of brutal persecution. There’s got to be some reason. I hope more people will be able to come to know the truth about Falun Gong, and see through the CCP’s deceitful propaganda. When all the people know about the truth of

Falun Gong, that will be the time that the CCP fears the most, because it will be facing its dissolution. The CCP has always relied on all kinds of lies to deceive its people, pretending that it’s the savior of all. But in fact, it is the CCP that is the root of all evil in China.”

Mr. Kui Huang, winner of First-class Excellent Student Scholarship, and Outstanding Graduate of the prestigious Tsinghua University was recommended to the Ph.D. program without examination, after receiving his Bachelor’s degree.

Because of his practice of Falun Gong, he was forced to suspend his schooling for 3 months from Oct. 1999.  In June 2000, because he openly practiced on campus, he was beaten publicly by many policemen. Then he was expelled from Tsinghua University. He had been illegally detained by a State Security agent. In Nov. 2000, he was illegally arrested in Zhuhai for “subverting the political power of the state”, then he was charged with abotaging legal enforcement” and detained in the 2nd detention center of Zhuhai.
