Ex-Detainee Describes Forced Labor in Chinese Prisons

ANCHOR:
Also in China, Huang Kui was detained and tortured in Guangdong Province for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual practice banned in China. After spending five years in a Chinese prison, he recently came to the U.S. and is now speaking out about his experience. Here's more:
STORY:
Huang Kui was arrested in late 2000 by police in southern China's Zhuihai City for practicing Falun Gong. He did most of his time at the Sihui Prison in Guangdong Province. He says the inmates were forced to work long hours cutting open pistachio shells with scissors in filthy conditions.

[Huang Kui, Falun Gong Practitioner]:
"What's even more beyond imagination is we're asked to make a food product--to cut open pistachio nuts. Since it has a hard shell, everyone is given large scissors to cut it open. That opening can't be too small or too large. Soon our hands have bleeding blisters--very painful. Some prisoners soak their hands in water to make the blisters soft. Some prisoners use urine to soften their blisters."
Huang also says he was verbally and physically abused while working, and that the prison guards used torture as a punishment for not working hard enough.
[Huang Kui, Falun Gong Practitioner]:
"Every day we have to work 16 hours, sometimes even over 18 hours. At night we have to be on duty for one hour. Those products in prison will be exported to foreign countries. Police guards all get a commission. So out of self-interest, they make prisoners do work without respect for their life."
Huang says he sees products everywhere that are "made in china," and knows first-hand some of them have been made in slave-like conditions.
[Huang Ku, Falun Gong Practitioner]:
"When I see these products, I think, in a democratic society it's very hard to imagine. Under the CCP's totalitarian rule, it forces illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners to manufacture those slave labor products. Then it exports the products to a developed country. Because there is no labor cost, the price is extremely low. It then uses the money it earns to persecute its own people, to persecute Falun Gong (practitioners)."
The Falun Gong website clearwisdom.net says there are over 50 Falun Gong practitioners still detained in Sihui prison. And Huang is calling for people to boycott Chinese-made goods to fight the practice of forced labor in Chinese prisons and labor camps.

@cryoslave88

Do you approve of prisoners being forced to work 14+ hours a day 7 days a week for no pay when they have committed no crime?

@freemangreen06

Falun Gong want the truth about the Persecution of Falun Gong to be known, and for people to know the truth about the evil communist party of china.

Falun Gong also do beautiful Chinese performing arts known as Shen Yun Performing Arts. You can see a sample of them on channel clearharmony.

WOW! I didn't know NTDTV make English TV program! This TV station is sponsored by Falungong and is not run for profit. They have special fund. It exists to justify Falungong and speak everything they can to malign China. Yes, Chinese people are slavers and Chinese businessmen are slave drivers! Gosh, Americans are so gullible that they believe what whey hear as long as it is not from Government! I would assume that there are a lot of killers and rapists in the streets at night in US.

[reallysecretusername]

bullshit. i doubt people in prison makes batteries. and workers arent slaves, because they recieve money. and working in a factory is a lot better than being a farmer there.

[limerick321]

Its amazing that we buy products made using slavery in China without batting an eyelid.People are imprisoned, and forced to make goods for the west and what is the wests response?A deafening silence!
