[Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Exposing the Persecution Against Dafa Practitioners in Xiaobali Brainwashing Class in Fengrun District
Xiaobali School Brainwashing Class was called the second "Masanjia" because like Masanjia Forced Labor Camp it also brutally persecutes Falun Dafa practitioners. The "610 Office"* in Fengrun District arrested practitioners in various townships and sent them to this brainwashing class. These practitioners were subjected to brutal beatings and other forms of torture. They were forced to pay 20 Yuan every day for very bad food and board. The guards put practitioners into solitary cells, in which there were two or three loud speakers on the walls that played loud music with offensive lyrics all day long. Some practitioners wrote "guarantee letters"* against their will because they could no longer bear the physical and mental torture. The "610 Office" and the school extorted 1,000 to 5,000 Yuan, or about 2-10 months of salary for an average Chinese urban worker, for the deposit and silk banners from the practitioners' family members. Otherwise, they would refuse to release the practitioners.
In October 2001, the "610 Office" in Fengrun District planned to send Dafa practitioner Wang Shujing from Shifulin Village, Yangguanlin Town to the brainwashing class. Wang had to leave home and was forced to go from place to place in order to avoid forced brainwashing. Her husband was forced to work and to take care of their child alone. Their child could not continue going to school because he needed to help his father do the housework. However, in November 2002, the officials from the "610 Office" in Fengrun District asked the police from Yangguanlin Town to arrest Wang Shujing's husband and send him to the brainwashing class. Their child was left home alone without no one to watch over him.

*Guarantee letter: A statement to declare that he or she is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners
