"Guards Drew My Blood." Recalling Nightmare of Falun Gong Persecution in Chinese Detention

Through practicing Falun Gong, Angel regained her health. But, so long as she was in China, she was not altogether free.

Angel was once again arrested and detained in 2004. Her crime? Distributing information about the persecution that Falun Gong practitioners are subject to in China.

Whilst the CCP madly persecutes adherents of the spiritual practice, the regime goes all out to keep the details a secret from China’s 1.3 billion.

It should be considered a noble act for someone of their own initiative to raise awareness of human rights abuses, but in China, speaking out against the regime can land one in prison, and has cost too many their lives.

For Angel, she was subject to even more, horrendous torture.

“Several people pinned me down to force feed me,” Angel recalls of her third time being detained.

“In order to get released earlier, prisoners collaborated with the police to torture us wildly.”

“They jumped on my chest with as much force as possible with their whole body weight pressing down.

“Some prisoners forcefully grabbed my head. Others pulled my hair as they force fed me.”

“They force fed me extremely salty things. I felt terribly thirsty. My tongue felt dry like sand. My stomach felt like it was burning. I don’t know what they poured in.”

There was one strange incident, however, which Angel experienced in detention.

“When I was incarcerated guards drew my blood.”

“I was confused at the time. Of the 20 people detained in that large room, why was only my blood drawn? Why didn’t they take blood from anyone else?”

Angel was the only Falun Gong practitioner in that room.

It certainly was not because the guards were concerned about her health, as Angel was being tortured and abused daily.

“It was finally in 2006 when the truth was revealed. The Chinese Communist Party is killing Falun Gong practitioners for their organs to sell. That’s when I finally realized that the CCP is engaged in such evil. Killing innocents on demand.”

After more than a month of being force fed and abused in the detention center, Angel was in bad shape. She couldn’t walk, nor could she take care of herself. She had to be carried everywhere. Despite her condition, she was sent to a forced labor camp to make products for export.

But Angel had been so badly tortured, she needed to be taken to the forced labor camp’s infirmary.

“Medical staff there checked my physical condition. A doctor said that as my endocrine was a mess, I could die at any moment, so it was useless to treat me. They refused to accept me.”

The police officers who had driven her to the forced labor camp couldn’t just leave her there, nor could they take her back to the detention center.

Once again, Angel’s family was notified to pick her up.

It was too much for Angel’s elderly mother when she laid eyes on her daughter in the patrol car, lying there motionless.

“I was persecuted to the point of being unrecognizable. My elderly mother cried, shouting my name. The policemen told my mother: ‘We’re handing her over to you. She’s still alive.’”
