Jintao Liu’s body shuddered in pain as he endured yet another day of extreme torture.

He had woken to pins being pushed into his nails before he was forced to stand still in a yard for some 18 hours. If he moved, he was beaten viciously and within an inch of his life.

Each excruciating second of the gruelling punishment caused his legs to swell as his body threatened to buckle under the pressure. He was given “no toilet breaks” and shown no mercy. Time had become his enemy — but not his worst.

That was a typical day for Liu during a lengthy stint in a series of Beijing detention centres and labour camps between 2006 and 2009.

There, he was subjected to electric shocks, medical tests, forced feedings, beatings, violent sexual assaults and other barbaric forms of torture designed by prison guards to humiliate and inflict maximum pain.

But it was one particularly savage punishment that etched the deepest psychological scar on Liu.

“The incident which marked me the most was when they, four of (the prison guards), stripped me of my clothes, and used the toilet brush to pierce my anus, saying that they would pierce until I turned homosexual,” Liu told news.com.au.

“They pulled my pubic hairs and played with my genitals.”

His only “crime” was to practice Falun Gong, a spiritual meditation based on the guiding principles of “truth, compassion and tolerance.”

But perhaps just as shocking is that the Chinese government has been carrying out these human rights atrocities — including forced organ removal for harvesting purposes— on innocent citizens and convicted criminals for the best part of the past two decades. And it’s still happening today.

Liu, 36, is one of thousands of people who have been incarcerated in some of China’s worst jails, labour camps and detention centres for practising Falun Gong and refusing to give up their spiritual beliefs.

By the 1990s, Falun Gong had become so popular, it was estimated to have 100 million members, outnumbering the country’s ruling Communist Party and prompting former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin to ban the practice in 1999.

Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH) Australia spokeswoman Dr. Sophia Bryskine said the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners was still extensive, with many being locked up “with no legal proceedings.”

“In our recent research and communications we have focused predominantly on prisoners of conscience as the scale of abuse remains vast,” she told news.com.au.

Bryskine said China was committing state-sanctioned human rights atrocities on a mass level and that Australia, along with the other nations, needed to immediately act and condemn it.

China is Australia’s largest export market for both goods and services, accounting for nearly a third of total exports, and a growing source of foreign investment.

In 2015, Australia signed a landmark free trade agreement with China, with total trade worth almost $160 billion in 2013-14.

But how much does Australia really know about its largest trading partner?

“Sadly, the global awareness of this mass murder taking place in China is still very limited,” Bryskine said.
