Brutality and forced drugs
More than 1,000 practitioners were kept in the Xinjin Brainwashing Center. Guards mixed unknown substances in water and food and even injected the drugs into fruit. Symptoms usually appeared half an hour later and as dizziness, swelling eyes, sleepiness, difficulty breathing, heart discomfort, and irritation. Some practitioners were all right before they were detained, but their physical condition worsened not long after they were admitted.

Framing the innocent and extorting money from them
Brainwashing center officials report the expense for each detained practitioner as 10,000 yuan. The money comes from government funding and by extorting it from the practitioner’s family and employer. Then the money goes to thugs in the brainwashing center. To line their pockets, 610 Office agents and those from the State Security Bureau and the Domestic Security Division of the following districts place incarcerated people in this brainwashing center every month: Chenghua, Wuhou, Jinniu, Qingyang and Jinjiang District. Wuhou District Domestic Security Division head Wang Pengfei said they received 200,000 yuan in funds to arrest Chengdu practitioner Ms. Zhong Fangqiong. In addition, brainwashing center officials provide training for brainwashing facilities in other cities or even provinces.

The police even labeled them as drug addicts during the arrest.
Ms. Wang, 46, was a teacher at Anyue Teachers Training College. She was sent to forced labor camp twice and tortured. Her family was also affected. Her 20-year-old son could not find a job. Ms. Wang planned to go into the tea business and wanted to help her son to open a computer repair shop.

More than 10 agents from Fuqinglu Police Station in Chengdu City drove to the shop in nine police cars in the afternoon on March 13, 2012. Ms. Yang Shujun was not in, so they took Ms. Yang Shuhua and ransacked her home. When Ms. Yang Shujun went to the police station at noon at March 27 to get her sister released, Huayou Road police chief Zeng Minjun arrested her and sent her to the Xinjin Brainwashing Center.
