610 Office in Xinjiang Arrests about Twenty Practitioners and Injects Them Daily with Unknown Drugs

Since March 29th, the 610 Office¹ in Xinjiang has arrested twenty Falun Dafa practitioners and sent them to the "Transformation² Base" in the Banfanggou Public Health Centre in Urumqi County. It is said that the local officials hold different levels of meetings. At the meetings it has been emphasised that no one must ever let out this news. The Falun Dafa practitioners have been on a hunger strike for twenty-six days. They are being injected with unknown drugs every day. More details follow:

The Party Committee of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region recently gave orders to the different levels of the 610 Offices to fortify the persecution. On March 29th, 2006, sixteen Falun Dafa practitioners were arrested around Xinjiang and were sent to the "Transformation Base" - the Banfanggou Public Health Centre in Urumqi County in Xinjiang (opposite the Banfangguo County Court). The Health Centre is also called the Law System Education Base in Urumqi. Dafa practitioners are persecuted there. Ten days later another four practitioners were arrested and sent to the brainwashing base.

According to reliable sources, these Dafa practitioners from Xinjiang are all very determined in cultivation. The 610 Office launched a new wave of persecution but they are afraid of being exposed. At the different levels of meetings they particularly emphasised that no one should reveal that they are holding "classes" to "transform" the Falun Gong practitioners, but instead they are required to tell outsiders that ordinary classes are being held. It is particularly stressed not let the family members of Falun Gong practitioners know that their loved ones are in the base and are being persecuted. Due to the recent exposure of the death camp brutally persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, the local Dafa students are very worried about the safety of those practitioners.

According to reliable sources, what is different from before is that the Dafa practitioners detained there are not allowed to come out at any time. Even meals are sent in by the staff in the brainwashing base. These practitioners are all very determined in cultivation. Up to the time of this article, they have been on a hunger strike for twenty-six days. The officials from the 610 Office are making doctors inject unknown drugs into the practitioners every day. The police from the 610 Office often brutally beat the very determined practitioners. The persecution is escalating. Practitioners are facing the risk of death at any time. Falun Dafa practitioners in Xinjiang therefore urgently request that the Truth Investigation Committee of the United Nations immediately go to the Banfanggou Public Health Centre in Urumqi County in Xinjiang to investigate the killing and persecution which is happening now.
