The Hebei Province Brainwashing Centre Continues to Inflict Harm

The Hebei Province 610 Office¹ continues to harm innocent victims in brainwashing sessions conducted at the Hebei Province Brainwashing Centre.

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Yue Yang was arrested in September 2005. He is an employee of the Tannan Street Neighbourhood Administration in the Chang'an District, Shijiazhuang City. He has firmly rejected brainwashing at the centre by refusing to write a statement regretting his Falun Gong practice.

Practitioner Ms. Mi Xiaozheng, from Shijiazhuang City, is a former college student in her twenties at Chongqing City University. She was forced to quit university and leave her home to avoid being arrested because she was determined to continue cultivating Falun Dafa. In April 2005, she was taken to the brainwashing centre where she has started a hunger strike that is still ongoing.

Ms. Mi Xiaozheng's mother, Qiao Wenying, was deceived by the lies and fabrications of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and was left with no choice but to pay for the brainwashing centre "tuition." She even stays at the centre and "helps" with the sessions. In addition, we received information that Ms. Qiao's sister, Ms. Mi Xiaozheng's aunt, who works for the government, is also deeply poisoned by the CCP and is working to help the brainwashing centre.

Practitioner Ms. Wang Ruo'e was taken from her home and brought to the brainwashing centre on September 6th, 2005. Although she is quite elderly and already in her seventies, the authorities did not allow her to get a proper amount of sleep and forced her to write the three statements^{2On September 6, 2005, another practitioner in her thirties was also taken to this centre. She has firmly resisted brainwashing for more than 70 days now.}

Note

1. "The 610 office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.

2. "Three Statements": Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write "Repentance Statement," "Guarantee Statement" or 'Dissociation Statement" as proof that they have given up their belief. In the statement, the practitioner is forced to admit remorse for practising Falun Gong, promise to give up Falun Gong, and never again associate with other practitioners or go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong.
