(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioners Liu Yajie and Wang Yaqin in the 3rd District, Langfang City, Hebei Province were besieged by police from February 19 to February 25. In an attempt to arrest the practitioners, police used their vehicles to block the doors of the practitioners' homes while keeping them under surveillance around the clock. Many practitioners (the exact number is unknown) were arrested and forced into brainwashing classes and imprisoned in the Jiaotong Hotel Brainwashing Center and the Huakang Hotel Brainwashing Center. Some practitioners were secretly transferred to the Yangshuiwu SARS Hospital in Langfang City. Three or four brainwashed people attacked one practitioner, who was not allowed to sleep, and was subjected to intense brainwashing.
On February 19, practitioner Shi Zhimin was arrested by the 610 Office in Langfang City and taken to the Huakang Hotel Brainwashing Center for further persecution. On the night of February 22, while under the watch of several police officers, Shi Zhimin escaped with righteous thoughts.
Over ten practitioners, including Yang Jianpo, were illegally imprisoned in the Langfang Detention Center. On the morning of February 25, Nie Chunling and her son went to the detention center to ask for the release of her husband, Yang Jianpo. They were not allowed to meet with him. They requested to see the head of the center, but their request was denied. They returned in the afternoon but were still not allowed to meet Yang. Yang Jianpo and other practitioners are going on a hunger strike to protest the persecution.
Dafa practitioner Shi Yongping was illegally sentenced to two years in the labor camp while Wang Fenghai was sentenced to one year. They are now imprisoned in the Shi Jiazhuang Forced Labor Camp.
Currently, there are still at least six practitioners illegally imprisoned in the Huakong Hotel Brainwashing Center.
