3. [Jiaonan City, Shandong Province] Practitioner Xu Bingxin Taken to a Brainwashing Center in Qingdao City's "610 Office"

On September 23, 2004, personnel from Yinzhu Town's Police Station arrested practitioner Xu Bingxin from Yinzhu Town while he was working in Haiqing Town and later sent him to a brainwashing center in Qingdao City's "610 Office."

4. [Beijing] Torture Facts of Practitioners in Beijing's Women Forced Labor Camp

In 2003 a "Storm Fortification Team" specializing in torture of the steadfast practitioners was set up in Beijing's Women Forced Labor Camp. Its head is Xu Kaixuan from the Education Section, Beijing Forced Labor Bureau, and the deputy head is Li, deputy team leader from the Assemble Training Team. They escalated torture methods of the practitioners who have refused to renounce Falun Gong. They deliberately chose some tough drug addicts in the camp to watch practitioners. In order to get a large bonus, police used all possible methods. Even the drug addicts who monitor practitioners get a 50-yuan bonus once they force a practitioner to give up her belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." Practitioner Ms. Ren Guoxian with a master's degree from Beijing is still being held in the "Storm Fortification" Team.
