After Ms Wang Haohong escaped from a brainwashing center where she had been imprisoned for over nine months, local officials seized her high school age son.

High School Student Held Hostage by CCP Officials in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province

It has been reported that Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Haohong from Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province escaped from the brainwashing center where she had been held captive for more than nine months. Local CCP officials were alarmed and in return took Wang Haohong's son, who is studying in high school, as a hostage. Family members are worried about the safety of the child. 

Ms Wang Haohong, 41 years old, is from Majia Village, Sha Gully, Zhangxin Township, Zhaoyuan City. Ms Wang had suffered from many illnesses since she was young and had sought many medical treatments, but all turned out to be in vain. Her mother cried a lot because of this, and Wang Haohong herself also suffered greatly because of her illnesses and would rather die than live. After she started to practice Falun Gong, all the illnesses she had were miraculously cured. It was Dafa that saved her life and brought happiness and peace to her family.

On July 20, 1999, the wicked Chinese Communist Party launched its brutal persecution of Falun Gong and its practitioners. Like tens of thousands of other Dafa disciples, Wang Haohong suffered brutal persecution just because of upholding her belief in Falun Gong and living her life according to the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Wang Haohong was continuously harassed, arrested, detained and tortured by CCP officials. She was not able to return to her own home for the past 8 years.

On September 11, 2007, Wang Haohong was arrested by the Nanxinzhuang Local Police Station in Jinan City, and was detained for about a month at the Public Security Bureau in eastern Jinin. Wang Haohong went on hunger strike to protest. On October 7, Wang Haohong was sent to the so-called "Legal System Education and Training Center" (translation: brainwashing center) in Zhaoyuan City and was detained there for more than 9 months.

The "Legal System Education and Training Center" in Zhaoyuan City is in fact a brainwashing center that persecutes Falun Gong practitioners. It is located at Lingnan Goldmine, Taishang Village, Linglong Township. Since July 2007, there have been about 60 Falun Gong practitioners sent to this dark den for persecution. Wang Haohong had symptoms of serious diabetes after being tortured. Her family had repeatedly made requests to take her home but were denied.
