Dafa Practitioner Ms. Xiao Yixia is Handcuffed and Suspended by Her Arms in the Shandong Weifang Industrial School

Ms. Xiao Yixia, a Falun Dafa practitioner and well-known artist, was kidnapped by a national security secret agent and taken to the Shandong Weifang Industrial School. She has been held there for more than a month. Because Xiao has not given up her belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," the director of the brainwashing centre Fu Jinbin and others have used vicious means to torture her mentally and physically. Even though currently Xiao's body is very weak, they are still torturing her. They are handcuffing her and suspending her in the air by her arms.

A few days ago, Officer Wang handcuffed Xiao and hung her up by her arms, spread in a V-shape, for more than two hours, which caused her to lose consciousness. After emergency treatment in the Weifang Medical School Hospital, the police took her back to the brainwashing centre and continued the illegal imprisonment. Xiao is suffering from hypothermia in her lower body. Her legs are numb and she can hardly walk.

At the same time, while Xiao was being tortured during the brainwash sessions in Weifang City, the authorities also mistreated her family. Staff from the "610 Office" (1) demanded that Xiao's in-laws pay 2,000 yuan (2) to the brainwashing centre for her "expenses." When Xiao's mother-in-law went to visit her, Fu Jinbin shouted at her and threatened that they would put her in a brainwashing programme as well. Xiao's father-in-law, previously retired, had been re-hired by his former employer. Recently, the "610 Office" pressured his employer into firing him.

Under the harassment from the "610 Office", practitioners Xiao Yixia and Zhou Ning's family cannot live normal lives. Xiao's in-laws had to take their grandson, Zhou Xuanzhao, son of Xiao and Zhou, and leave their hometown. The authorities threatened their relatives, tapped their phones and subjected them to varying extents of persecution. Zhou's fourth aunt was forced to leave her home to avoid further persecution.
