Hubei Woman Administered Toxic Drug in Brainwashing Center

(Minghui.org) Ms. Huang Ciying was forced to take nerve-damaging drugs while being held in a brainwashing center for practicing Falun Gong. The resident of Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, still sometimes became delirious and suffered other physical discomfort after being released.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

Ms. Huang was arrested on September 22, 2022, and taken to the Lulinyuan Brainwashing Center, where she was given the toxic drug. She continues to be monitored by the police ever since her release on October 28.

The Lulinyuan Brainwashing Center is located in Xiaohe Township, Xiaochang County. It has recently received 600,000 yuan in funding to “handle” Falun Gong practitioners. Hong Peng, secretary of the Xiaochang Political and Legal Affairs Committee (PLAC), and He Wenbin, the 610 Office director and deputy secretary of PLAC, are responsible for running the brainwashing center. Both the PLAC and the 610 Office are tasked with persecuting Falun Gong.

In addition to Ms. Huang, several other practitioners, including Li Youlin, Yan Zhenxiang, and Luo Guilan (also known as Luo Qixiu), have recently been persecuted in the brainwashing center.

When a practitioner is first admitted to the brainwashing center, the staff members pretend to be friendly in order to persuade them to give up their faith. If the practitioner remains firm, the staff members start to beat them, verbally abuse them, deprive them of sleep, deny them use of the restroom, and limited their access to food and water.

The brainwashing center played propaganda videos every day. If any practitioner refused to renounce Falun Gong after two weeks, the staff forced them to take a green pill, claiming that it was to treat the practitioner’s high blood pressure, even though they didn’t have the condition. The staff would beat the practitioners if they refused to take it. They also checked the practitioners’ mouths to make sure they had indeed swallowed it.

After taking the drug for a few days, the practitioners became confused. The staff would then exploit their affection for their family and threatened them with the loss of their jobs or lengthy prison sentences to get them to renounce Falun Gong or to report on other practitioners.

Since Sui Chunlong took office in early 2022 as the deputy secretary of the Party Committee and secretary of the PLAC in Xiaogan City, he has allocated more funding to local brainwashing centers to target Falun Gong practitioners.

Dozens of practitioners in nearby cities and counties under the jurisdiction of Xiaogan, including Yingcheng City, Anlu City, Xiaochang County, Yunmeng County, and Hanchuan County, have been arrested and held in the brainwashing centers. In some regions, the authorities arrested the practitioners based on a quota.
