______________________________________________________________________________________________
Good afternoon.
I would like to thank the members of this committee for the opportunity to speak here today. First, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lili Feng. I am a Chinese born US permanent resident currently residing in San Diego. I am an immunologist and Assistant Professor at the Scripps Research Institute. I am also a practitioner of Falun Gong. Falun Gong is a traditional, spiritually-guided qigong exercise for healing and fitness, and it is a physical practice guided by the principles of “truthfulness, benevolence, and tolerance.”
I would like to share with you my experience of being illegally detained in Shenzhen, China, from December 15th to 27th, 1999. I had never expected that a two-hour meeting with some local friends would lead to my two-week incarceration.
My ordeal started with a planned trip to visit my family in Lushan of Jiangxi Province in China. My friend Jinshu Chan, a Hongkong Falun Gong practitioner, accompanied me to Shenzhen on December 14th and I stayed in his home. Mr. Chan invited some local Falun Gong practitioners to his house. Over there, I met Alicia Zhao and Alan Huang who are California residents visiting in Shenzhen. It was an unplanned private gathering. We talked about lives in the US and of course the benefits we have gained from practicing Falun Gong. We probably had gathered for 2.5 hours before we headed home/hotel respectively.
At around 1:00 am on December 15, we were taken out of bed by local policemen, who came in the house without any warrant, and we were taken in custody for interrogation. We were released at dawn, but were arrested again in the afternoon when we came back for our travel documents. We were handed a 15-day "administrative detention" for "disruption of social orders.” Later I was told that Alicia and Alan were arrested in their hotel rooms. That afternoon, we met the other arrested people at the Futian Public Security Bureau, including Alicia, Alan, two Hong Kong practitioners as well as two local practitioners.
Alicia and I were put in the same cell with 38 inmates, most of whom were prostitutes and drug addicts. It was dirty and cold (35F). An open toilet with no flush was right in the room where the 40 of us cuddled at night and worked during the day. 3 people had to share one thin quilt, which was never washed and covered with all kinds of dirty stains. A few of us had to sleep on the cement floor as they ran out of space. The cell had windows with only iron bars but no glasses. Wind and rain easily blew into the cell as a result. We were almost as if sleeping on the street. Every night, I went to bed fully dressed and covered my head with my jacket to keep off the cold wind.
A jail in China is nothing that an American can imagine. The moment you are arrested, you lose every right, and practically disappear from the world. I was not allowed to contact anyone, by phone or by mail. My husband, after being informed of the news by Mr. Chan, called from San Diego to find out which detention center I was in. He was promptly told that inmates couldn’t receive phone calls. When he explained that he was trying to locate his wife, he was told to come in person. During the next few days, he contacted the American Consulate General in Guangzhou, his friends in Shenzhen, and local Falun Gong practitioners, to ask for help to locate me. No one was able to find out it for him, and all were given the run-around by the police. It was not until a reporter from the San Diego Union-Tribune, Ms. Angela Lau, persevered in the run-around with the Shenzhen police that my location was determined.
