The Facts of the CCP's Tyrannical Persecution of Christians, Ep. 22: 17-Year-Old Christian Tortured for Four Days to Extract Confession
August 7, 2026
The evil CCP is extremely brutal in its arrest and persecution of Christians. In order to force Christians to renounce their faith and give up information about the church, the CCP sadistically uses various torture methods to brutalize them. They are completely lawless. They never treat Christians as human beings, brutalizing them at will, and beating them to death with impunity. Whether it be elderly Christians in their eighties and nineties or underage teenage Christians, they spare no one in their arrests. Their brutal acts are truly heinous. Recently, we interviewed Li Hao, a Christian from The Church of Almighty God in Beijing. He told us about how he was arrested during a gathering and brutally persecuted by CCP police when he was 17. To force him to give up church information, the police tortured him for four consecutive days to extract a confession. This included severe beatings, scalding him with boiling water, burning his nipples and palms with fire, and crushing his fingers. They also viciously scraped his scalded back with the jagged edges of handcuffs. They tied electric wires to his fingers and arms, shocked him multiple times, and forcibly stripped off his pants, attempting to shock his genitals, but Li Hao fought desperately to break free. It wasn't until Li Hao was battered and bruised and barely clinging to life that the police allowed his family to bail him out pending trial. After he returned home, the police continued to harass him at his house. They not only restricted his movements but also threatened that if he continued to believe in God, he would be arrested again and given a heavy sentence. In this episode, through Li Hao's account, let's learn about the abuse and torment a young Christian suffered under the CCP's atheist tyranny.
