[Guiyang City, Guizhou Province] Guizhou Province"610 Office" Expends Millions on Building a Brainwashing Base in the Lannigou District

Last year, Guizhou Province "610 Office"* authorities built a brainwashing base in the Lannigou District, Guiyang City, to persecute Dafa practitioners. It cost more than a million Yuan** to build the base. It can hold 20 people at a time. The brainwashing process can last as long as half a year and the expense for one person is around 50,000 Yuan.

Many Dafa practitioners work in a factory in Guiyang City. The personnel from Guiyang City "610 Office" thus exerted great pressure on the factory's director. The director couldn't help but inform all workshops that Falun Gong practitioners will be sent to brainwashing centers. Knowing this information, the practitioners in the factory strengthened sending righteous thoughts and successively handed in resignations requests. The matter ended up unsettled.

[Beijing] Facts of Persecution against Practitioner Zhang Jiuhai

Practitioner Mr. Zhang Jiuhai is a farmer from Hebei Province. Because he did not want to give up practicing Falun Dafa, he went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution. In July of 2000, he was detained at Division No. 2 in the Tuanhe Labor Camp for one year. He refused to cooperate with the unjust demands of the authorities and his term was extended for six months. After he completed the extended term, he still had not given in. The police from the labor camp used an electric baton to torture him physically, and other means to torture him mentally, in order to make him give in and be "transformed." In 2002, after he finished his term, instead of releasing him back home, he was sent to a brainwashing center. He did not cooperate with the brainwashing and was sent back to the Tuanhe Labor Camp for the second time. Because of the long-term physical and mental torture, his health is getting worse and worse. During the detention, the police detained him with several criminal prisoners who had been instigated to abuse practitioners. Under the persecution in 2003, Mr. Zhang Jiuhai went on hunger strike, and his current situation is unknown.

The responsible person: chief of Division No. 2 named Ji.
