Falun Gong practitioner Qian Xiaoying, female, is from Taiyuan City. She was thrown into the Taiyuan City Detention Center at the beginning of 2001 for doing Falun Gong exercises in the May-1 Square in Taiyuan City. She refused to give up her beliefs and received numerous beatings from inmates in the same cell. Soon after, she was sentenced to forced labor and sent to the Shanxi Provincial Forced Labor Camp. During her forced labor reeducation, she was often abused for no reason. Gradually she became mentally impaired in her daily activities. However, the forced labor camp claimed that she only pretended to be insane, and they locked her up in isolation for even more severe persecution. In the end she suffered a mental breakdown and was sent to a mental hospital. Those who participated in beating her include Zhang Haiping, Yang Gaixia, and several other police officers.

In order to avoid responsibility, the forced labor camp tried to force practitioners to say that she had a history of mental illness. We hereby refute all of the labor camp's lies.

The four of us were sent against our will to the "610" brainwashing class by cadres in the Political and Judiciary Committee and other organizations in the village. [The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.] One of the practitioners refused to cooperate with the evil persecution and went on a hunger strike for about ten days. Those in charge of the brainwashing class barbarically force-fed the practitioner five times, and forced him to have infusions three times. The head of the "610" brainwashing class Wang Jinggang claimed, "We don't worry about your hunger strikes in this facility. It doesn't matter even if you die here." Another fellow practitioner was deprived of sleep for five days and four nights, while people from the brainwashing class took turns inundating him with their propaganda. Two ladies in their 60's have also been repeatedly subjected to this type of brainwashing.

The compound for the brainwashing class is carefully designed. There are two yards, with one in the front and the other in the back, and four successive entrances. The staff members live in the front yard and Falun Dafa practitioners are held in the backyard. The wall is over two meters tall. Each Falun Dafa practitioner is locked in a room of his or her own. Except for meals and brainwashing sessions, all practitioners are held in isolation. They have to relieve themselves in the same room.

None of the camp's methods have worked in terms of weakening the determination of Falun Dafa practitioners. Out of kindness, practitioners told those in charge the heavenly principle of the good and the bad receive their respective returns. We told the former practitioners who turned against Dafa not to betray Teacher and come back to the current of Fa-rectification as soon as they can. Three or four months went by, and we came to realize that we should not passively bear everything by staying there and should instead break out of the imprisonment to save people in the world by clarifying the truth to them.

At around 1:00 am one night, the four of us (including the two ladies in their 60's), with strength given to us from Teacher, jumped out of a small window above the door of each of our rooms. Then we climbed over the more than two-meter-tall wall and got away from this foul place. We are grateful for our Teacher's benevolence. We have experienced the mighty power of Dafa and gained a deeper understanding of Teacher's words, "However strong the righteous thoughts are, that's how great the power is." (Also in a Few Words)

Zhang Shuxiang, female, close to 60 years old, is from Zhangxing Town, Zhaoyuan City in Shandong Province. She was suffering from all kinds of illnesses before practicing Falun Gong. After she started studying Falun Dafa, all of her illnesses disappeared. In April 2002, Zhang was arrested while clarifying the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong and thrown into the Linglong Brainwashing Center. Perpetrators Liu Cuihua, Zhang Xiumei, Lin Shuxi, Liu Jincai, and others surrounded Zhang and beat her to the verge of death. Zhang still remains in custody.

Wang Shupei, female, is from Jiehe at Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province. She was arrested from her home and taken to the Linglong Brainwashing Class for no good reason. Because she refused to give up practicing Falun Gong, guards took turns beating her. Under extreme persecution, she wrote a statement of guarantee "not to practice Falun Gong exercises" anymore. After she was released, she immediately published a statement: Each word and every action of mine in the Linglong Brainwashing Class that was against Falun Dafa are completely null and void.

Lin Shuxi "enlightened" along an evil path under the intense pressure. Upon her release, she actively engaged in helping the organizers of the brainwashing classes. Her temper has become extremely violent. She often took different approaches in beating Falun Dafa practitioners, trying everything she can think of. As a form of karmic retribution, she suffered fractures in all four of her limbs during a car accident. We hope she can realize through this incident who is offering her salvation and who is dragging her to the edge of destruction before it's too late.

Prior to July 22, the police at Panzhihua City in Sichuan Province enhanced the security surveillance at all the Internet cafés across the city. One practitioner who regularly accesses the Internet is now missing, and it is likely that he has been arrested. Currently there has been no detailed information concerning this practitioner's situation.

A few days ago, Wang Liqing, a teacher from Lincheng County, Hebei Province was arrested and brought to a brainwashing class in Ren County for adhering to her belief in Falun Dafa. Wang Liqing has an excellent reputation as a teacher. Several other teachers who had been working with her burst into tears upon seeing her being forcibly taken away. One teacher said, "To brainwash such a good person, where is justice? And where can we go to appeal?"

Wang Liqing staged a hunger strike in the brainwashing class in Ren County. She suffered all kinds of torture during the several days of hunger strike. Sponsors of the brainwashing class worried about her dying there and had to release her. One week later, the brainwashing class came to abduct her again. Wang Liqing happened to not be at home. The police then took away Wang's father and illegally issued a fine of 3000 Yuan. [The average monthly salary of an urban worker is about 500 Yuan.] It is no longer safe for Wang Liqing to return home, and the lives of her family members have also been severely disrupted.

1. Mou Xuhui, female, over 50 years old, is from Qixia City, Shandong Province. After she betrayed Falun Dafa, she has become increasingly wicked. She volunteered to plan strategies for the police and worked on plots to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. She has used all kinds of tricks that led to the arrest of several practitioners. After Mou was released at the end of last year, she held several brainwashing classes and persecuted many Falun Gong practitioners. She is still continuing to commit wrong deeds. Mou Xuhui's home phone number is 86-535-5216569.

2. Zheng Jun, male, "enlightened" along an evil path after being forcibly sent by his own work unit to the drug rehabilitation center affiliated with the forced labor camp in Benxi City, Liaoning Province in April 2001. Later, Zheng volunteered to act as an accomplice in the brainwashing classes. He has completely lost his sense of righteousness and dignity. Recently he has frequently helped the police by digging up information about Falun Dafa practitioners who have been forced out of their homes. Some fellow practitioners were arrested at their homes by the police the day after Zheng paid a visit to them.
