“Not Just a Prison; It Is Hell” Says Persecution Victim

Mr. Zhang Weijie, imprisoned and tortured in China for practicing peaceful Falun Gong meditation, has written a letter pleading for help from those outside China.

“I have written letters to the Chinese authorities, but haven’t heard anything back,” Mr. Zhang Weijie wrote in the letter, which was published on Minghui.org. “Therefore, I can only write to the kind people outside of China and hope to obtain some assistance.”

Mr. Zhang has been arrested for his spiritual beliefs ten times since the Chinese Communist Party began its brutal persecution of Falun Gong fourteen years ago, according to Minghui.org.

“I was subjected to multiple severe tortures at the brainwashing center,” Mr. Zhang wrote in the letter. “They beat me as if I was a sand bag. For 15 consecutive days, I was not allowed to sleep or eat. I was forced to keep standing and was subjected to force-feedings twice a day.”

“I suffered such torture because I refused to give up my belief in Falun Gong,” Mr. Zhang wrote.

In 1996, Mr. Zhang was completely cured of paralysis by practicing Falun Gong, Minghui.org reported.

Falun Gong includes five gentle exercises as well as the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.  The Chinese Communist Party, with its atheist nature, is unable to tolerate these things.

Mr. Zhang has not been allowed to meet with his lawyer, and he still undergoes daily torture and heavy labor at Fanjiatai Prison in China’s Hubei Province.  In his letter, he described many of these tortures, such as beatings, electric shocks, and being blasted with freezing water in the wintertime.

“The Fanjiatai Prison is not just a prison. It is hell,” he wrote, beseeching the world’s people to contact the Chinese authorities who can set him free.
