[Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Brutal Torture of Practitioners at the Hands of Kaiping Police at a Brainwashing Center
Tangshan City's Kaiping Police Precinct personnel have detained over 200 Dafa practitioners at a newly set up brainwashing center. Practitioners do not have enough to eat and are totally deprived of personal freedom. They are under surveillance even when they use the bathroom. Practitioners who refuse to write the "guarantee statement" would be beaten up. [Please note: The guarantee statement requires practitioners to state that they regret practicing Falun Dafa, will not go to Beijing to appeal, will never again associate with practitioners and will give up the practice of Falun Dafa] Some Dafa practitioners were even beaten unconscious. Each Dafa practitioner is "fined" several thousand to over ten thousand Yuan [500 Yuan is average monthly income in urban areas of China], otherwise he/she wouldn't be released. Personnel at the brainwashing center used persecuting Dafa practitioners as a way of extorting money. As many citizens said, "Thieves used to hide in remote mountains, but now they are in the ranks of the police."

Chaoyang City's deputy mayor, Li Zhongwu, led some people to Lingyuan City to supervise the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners. The authorities publicly claimed on TV that they would strengthen their strikes against Falun Gong in Lingyuan City. On August 9, after a dozen Dafa practitioners were sentenced to long-term incarceration, several dozen practitioners were arrested and forcibly sent to brainwashing classes. People from every street administration office, police station and "610 Office" frequently harass Dafa practitioners in their homes and order them to sign a so-called statement, already written. Practitioners who refuse to sign would be sent to a brainwashing class. Some Dafa practitioners were forced to leave their homes and live in exile.
During the escalation of the persecution, on the night of August 22, the sky produced lightening, thunder, gale force winds and heavy rain. News from the Lingyuan City TV station reported that the storm caused serious loss of life and material damage to seven villages, including Songzhangzi Village and Dawangzhangzi Village. Three people were killed. Large hailstones completely destroyed villagers' crops. Several large trees were uprooted. Many homes collapsed. The loss was disastrous.
Heaven is sending a warning to sentient beings. Good and bad will be rewarded accordingly We hope people with any conscience left will wake up as soon as possible.
