At the end of 2000, because of a disability, he was sent out of the camp for medical treatment. In 2002, because Wenjie would not renounce his belief, the secretary of the Hengshui City Political and Judiciary Committee, Tian Jieshi, and the secretary of the Jiezhou City Political and Judiciary Committee, Chen Dengquan, with charges trumped up by the Jiezhou City Procuratorate, Judiciary Department and the Public Security Department, in collaboration with the City regional police, and the Main National Security Division, illegally sentenced him to five years of imprisonment.

On July 29, 1999, more than ten people who went to appeal were escorted home. The village secretary Li Yinghao abused them, and they were also fined. In May 2000, the police from Xuzhuang went to Fengjiazhuang without any valid reason and searched people's homes. Because of that, eight people went to appeal. After the police took them back, police officers Sun Tao, Zhao Junyu and Gao Shufan punched and kicked these people. Some of them suffered bloody noses and swollen faces, and were covered with black and blue bruises. They were forced to kneel in the hot sun the whole day. Some of the people who did not go to appeal were also detained and held for ransom. Amongst them, Qiao Changrong paid five thousand yuan, Tie Han paid five thousand five hundred yuan, Wang Qingju paid one thousand yuan, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Shibin paid seven thousand yuan, Xia Yunying paid seven thousand yuan, Xia Chunying paid five thousand yuan, Li Hairong paid three thousand yuan, Jin Tian paid three thousand yuan, Li Haige, Chen Jingwang each paid seven hundred yuan, Li Haijun paid one hundred yuan, Xia Shige paid two hundred yuan, Ping Jun paid two hundred yuan, Li Haixia and her daughter paid six thousand yuan. Others from Xuzhuang, Dizhuang and Zhuanzitou, including more than ten persons variously paid between one to five thousand yuan. On that occasion, Xia Tongmu was tortured and detained.

After this, on any sensitive date, Dafa practitioners are forced to report to the village office, and be detained for several days. At these times, indiscriminate tortures are a common occurrence. The village secretary Li Yinghao and the chief of the police station Gao Shufan are the chief perpetrators. Guo Shuangnian and Zhao Diantang, without exception, punch and kick as well as beat up practitioners with batons or clubs till the practitioners are near death. They also use electric batons for hours on the practitioners, and force them to do hard labor. The long and cruel torture leaves many of the practitioners with injuries all over their bodies, bleeding noses and swollen faces, as well as loss of bowel control are also common. They kicked Xia Chunying in the face with boots and severely beat up her young son. Police from the Matouli City Department put a wooden staff across her legs and stood on it as a means of torture. Later, Xia Chunying was sentenced to a forced labor camp. The child was traumatized.

Part of the brainwashing included:

1. In October, 1999, the government officers at Nanwu village detained more than twenty of the persons who went to appeal on July 20, on the first floor of the government conference room to brainwash them. Steadfast practitioners were sent to a detention center.

2. On March 11, 2001, more than ten Dafa practitioners were tricked into entering various brainwashing centers by a number of responsible persons in Rijizhou City. The units involved were: the Political and Judiciary Committee, Public Security Department, the government of Xuzhuang town, the government of Xiaozhai town, the government of Yinzhuang town, the regional city police and the City Construction Department. Responsible persons included: Political and Judiciary Committee Assistant Secretary Li Xijiu, Public Security Department Assistant Secretary Wang Zhenxia. After the majority of the victims went on a hunger strike for several days, they were released.

3. In April 2002, the Public Security Department of Jizhou City sent Li Zhijun, Zhao Dongjun and his son to the Hengshui Brainwashing Center.

4. The officers from the 610 Office, the Public Security Department and the Legal Administration System, on many occasions illegally supervised, trailed and took practitioners into custody; on many occasions they charged into the homes, ransacked, looted, assaulted, arrested and threatened practitioners.

5. Since the persecution began, Jizhou City officials have been brainwashing the whole population there, and on many occasions forced the entire primary and secondary school population, and everyone from the work units to watch films and videos vilifying Dafa. Students and workers were forced to purchase books, magazines and newspapers slandering Dafa. Everyone was forced to sign letters of regret, signifying that the Dafa practitioners were persecuted because they did not want to compromise with the officials.

6. The brainwashing center commenced operations on March 30, 2001. The Dafa practitioners who were detained included:

Li Jingci, Lou Guiping, Li Jinling, Qiao Huarong, Xing Caidong, Han Wencai, Chai Guangyue, Xia Yunying, Li Hairong, Li Zhijun, and Zhou Jixiu.

The police indiscriminately and cruelly torture Dafa practitioners in their efforts to force them to renounce their belief of "Zhen, Shan, Ren" (Truthfulness Compassion, Forbearance). Only one example will be referred to here: Li Jingci and Lou Guiping were steadfast in their practice and were beaten until their buttocks were festering. Because of this, Li Jingci was hospitalized for two months. Ms. Li Jinling was at that time fifty-seven years old. The policemen, Liu Lisen and Zhao Guosheng sent her to the Party School for more cruel torture on the grounds of her belief in "Zhen, Shan, Ren": She was punished by being forced to stand for long periods, was not allowed any sleep, was not allowed any food, was hung up and would not be let down unless she renounced her beliefs. Even when that elderly person fainted, the police still would not let the matter drop.
