Ireland: Zhao Ming's Speech At A Symbolic Public Hearing of the Criminal Jiang (Photo)
(Clearwisdom.net) I suffered brutal torture in the labor camp. The major
torturing methods they used included deprivation of sleep, beating, squatting
for a long time and electric shocks with multiple electric batons. I experienced
all of these kinds of tortures. Ten inmates, instigated by the police, beat me
up and made me unable to walk for two weeks. On another occasion, five police
guards shocked all over my body with six electric batons. I was often deprived
of sleep. In 2000, the police guards let the inmates in the camp monitor me. If
I fell to sleep they would kick me and push me to wake me up. In this way, I did
not sleep for a single minute for the first two days and was only allowed to sit
on a small chair to sleep for one to two hours in the following days of a two
weeks period. I was also submitted to a torture of long time squatting. I was
forced to squat for about ten hours a day. My lower legs and feet completely
lost feeling. Now my lower legs still feel numb. I want to tell everyone that the persecution of Falun Gong in
China is completely a persecution of our spiritual belief. We did not do
anything illegal. The police guards committed all the tortures only to force us
to renounce our belief. This is a definite violation of basic human rights, of
Chinese law and of international law. Now, we have recorded more than 800 verified cases of Falun
Gong practitioners persecuted to death. I have found four of my friends in this
death list. They are a telecommunications engineer, a bank clerk, a doctor and a
university lecturer. They are all very young, well educated and law-abiding
people. But they have been persecuted to death. And the death toll keeps
increasing nearly everyday. I also want to testify that this persecution is not a
regional problem or committed by individual police officers. It is a state
terrorism and was instigated by the former president Jiang Zemin. When I was
held in China, I was transferred among different cities, different detention
centres, labour camps, and even a drug rehabilitation center. They were all
implementing the command from the highest authority to persecute us, but I had
not done anything illegal. What is happening in China now is a definite example of
genocide. Now I have been involved as a plaintiff in a series of legal cases in
different countries to prosecute Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin for genocide and
torture. In Ireland, we are consulting lawyers to initiate lawsuit against Jiang
Zemin as well. As a victim who has personal experience of this persecution, I
would say that Jiang Zemins genocide is even more evil than Hitlers. Hitler
spent twelve years committing genocide. Now Jiang Zemin has started for four
years. We must put all our efforts into preventing Jiangs genocide from
developing any further. An injustice anywhere is an injustice for everywhere. It
is the responsibility of all people in the world to stop this genocide!
I
am a Trinity student. I was persecuted in Tuanhe labor camp in Beijing for one
year and ten months only because of being a practitioner of Falun Gong. Due to
the many efforts of the Irish people and government, I was released last year
and returned to Ireland.
