Criminal Facts of the Dingxing County Brainwashing Class

[Dingxing County, Hebei Province]

The "Education and Transformation Class" in Dingxing County, Hebei Province, founded last year, was actually a brainwashing class especially for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Most of the people there were forcibly detained.

Falun Gong practitioners detained there were usually forced to write the "four statements" which must be checked by personnel from the "610 Office.” The county government authorities or the "divisions" practitioners belonged to had to bail them out. Each practitioner had to pay 2,000 Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly income in rural areas of China] in "tuition fees and cost of living" every month and had to take part in the overtime army training every day. The guards, daily, carried electric batons or hard rubber batons. They brutally beat or punished those who did not completely obey them. The first "test" for all new detainees was a beating with rubber batons and electric batons. Director Li Ping even said that it was just a way to "settle" the practitioners in, in case they didn't obey them. Anyone didn't follow their instructions would be hung up in the "self-reflection room." He even threatened that anyone who disclosed that practitioners were beaten in the brainwashing class would be continually tortured. His superior even rewarded his criminal behaviour because he brutally tortured practitioners. Those who refused to give up the practice of Falun Dafa would be further tortured and sent to a forced labour camp.
