(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] Brainwashing Class at Tianlu Lake
Sanatorium (Dongshan District) Persecutes Practitioners The so-called "Legal Studies Class" located at Tianlu Lake
Sanatorium (Dongshan District, Guangzhou City) is actually a brainwashing class
where some Dafa practitioners are kept under detention. All the practitioners
sent there have been forcefully arrested, and most of them are intellectuals.
When the police arrested these practitioners, they did not show any ID or
documents nor did they go through any legal procedures. The practitioners have been under detention for periods ranging from 6 to 18
months. In the beginning, the staff members here did not provide the
practitioners enough food; they also beat and cursed the practitioners for no
reason. The brainwashing personnel force the practitioners to watch video
programs that slander Teacher and Dafa. They also threaten, and torture the
practitioners. The persecutors use methods of implication to get the street community
offices, local government offices, and practitioners' family members involved.
Under the name of "political tasks," they force these people to
persecute the practitioners. Some of the government officials implicated
complain, some are angry toward the persecution, yet too scared to say anything.
Some utilize the persecution as an opportunity to gain political advantage. 2. [Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province] Police Arrest Practitioner Meng

Road in Qiaoxi District, Shijiazhuang City. While she was clarifying the truth

Changqin Arrested by the Police Liu Quanwang is a 39 year-old male practitioner who works at the Linghe Mine
in Nanpiao District, Huludao City. In March 2002, police from Nuanchitang Town
Police Station (Nanpiao District, Huludao City) arrested Liu. Later on, the
persecutors sentenced Liu to 1 year of forced labor and sent him to Huludao City
Forced Labor Camp. Since he persisted in his cultivation and resisted the
persecution inside the camp, the perpetrators brutally tortured him many times,
and they extended his term for another 8 months. In November 2001, Liu was
released from the forced labor camp. However, the security officers in Linghe
Mine sent him to Nanpiao District Detention Center, where he was kept under
detention for 45 days. Later on, Liu escaped with the help of his righteous
thoughts from the Linghe Mine Security Section. In May 2002, Liu went to Beijing
to validate Dafa and has been missing ever since. Gu Changqin, female, 47 years old, lived in Gangyaoling Town, Nanpiao
District. For appealing in Beijing in October 1999, Gu was illegally sentenced
to 3 years of forced labor. The persecutors sent her to the Masanjia Forced
Labor Camp, where she persisted in her cultivation. For doing that, she was
tortured to the extent that she lost her ability to speak or swallow. In May
2001, Gu was released for medical treatment. On December 28, 2001, the local
police arrested her again. Gu escaped from the police station, after which she
was forced to become homeless and destitute. On May 31, 2002, Gu went to a

Station Break into A Practitioner's Home, Beat People, and Slander the Victims On the night of April 11, 2002, police from Changhong Police Station arrested
practitioner Cai Rong (female) in Jiamusi City. The persecutors then illegally
sentenced Cai to 3 years in a forced labor camp. One month after Cai's arrest,
about 9 guards from Youyi Police Station went to Cai's apartment and pounded on
the door. At the time, Cai Rong's two daughters (one is in primary school, the
other is less than 20 months old), a girl from the family of Cai's sister, and
an aunt of the two daughters were at home. The guards ransacked the home and
made a mess. When the daughters' aunt tried to stop them, the guards beat her
up. Later on, Cai Rong's husband came back and asked the police guards for their
search warrant. The guards did not have any warrant. After a while, four
relatives and a friend arrived at the apartment. Seeing that the guards were so
unreasonable, they started to argue with them (one of the relatives is a
government official). The argument elevated into a fight. The police arrested
the relatives and put them into a police van. The aunt's husband tried to carry
her to a hospital, yet the police stopped and arrested him, leaving the two
girl's aunt by the street. The injured women struggled to call a cab, but the
police guards did not allow the taxi driver to take her. Youyi Police Station lied to the local newspaper and on TV, saying that Cai
Rong's relatives and family members beat 8 police guards, and that two of guard
Zhong Qiang's teeth were knocked out. The truth is, the police guards beat many
relatives of Cai Rong. Cai's sister in law (the two daughters' aunt) had many
injuries on her body, and she was not able to walk. The guard Zhong Qiang has
two artificial teeth. When they made a video describing "what
happened," Zhong removed his teeth and claimed that Cai's relatives knocked
them out. The police arrested 4 of Cai's relatives and one friend. Currently,
two of them are still under detention. Youyi Police Station in Jiamusi City: 86-454-8582590 6. [Guilin, Guangxi Province] The Police Illegally Sentenced Many

District of Yantai City have collaborated with the persecutors in the local
"610 Office," helping them torture Dafa practitioners in brainwashing
classes. They are: Wang Guihong, Chi Zhengfang, and Gao Yaohua. They also
provide information about many practitioners to the police. In the developing area of Yantai City, some collaborators [former Falun
Dafa practitioners who have renounced their belief due to intense pressure,
brainwashing and torture] such as Zhong Shuzhen (female) and Meng Jianfei
have been persecuting practitioners since they were "reformed." They
also try to confuse and deceive many practitioners. Zhong Shuzhen even tears off
truth-clarifying stickers posted by Dafa practitioners. In Longkou City, betrayers Tang Zhuxing and Wang Cuirong (female) have been
persecuting Dafa practitioners and slandering Dafa since they were
"transformed." Their crimes are even worse than those committed by the
police guards.
