Family Members Refused Visits with Dafa Practitioner Liu Hongxia, Detained at Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Jilin Province, Because She Will Not Submit to Brainwashing

Dafa practitioner Liu Hongxia in Jilin Province has already been detained in the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City for four months. Every Tuesday is her visiting day. Her family has only been allowed to meet with her twice since she has been detained there. When her family enquired as to the reason for this, the response from the forced labour camp was that Liu Hongxia was not brainwashed and was being closely monitored, so nobody could meet with her. After one month, when her family asked to meet with her again, the forced labour camp refused their request again, stating that they were Falun Gong practitioners. When the family members explained that they were not Falun Gong practitioners, the forced labour camp still refused them, and said they had extended the monitoring period by another two months. Although her family went to see her every week, they were refused every time by the forced labour camp, with all kinds of reasons. For more than two months, Liu Hongxia's family members had not met with her, and they were very anxious about her. On November 14th, they went to the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp and asked to meet with her again.

Her family members went to the reception room of the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City, finished the procedure and waited to meet with her. After more than one hour, they still had not seen Liu Hongxia. Her family members asked the guard who was responsible for check-ins. The guard made a call and then told them that Liu Hongxia was not allowed to meet with them. They asked why, but the guard said it was a rule, and that they could further discuss the situation with his supervisors. They proceeded to the superintendent's office in the forced labour camp.

The family members were blocked by the gate guard. They said they would like to see the superintendent of the forced labour camp. One female guard asked, "Why do you want to see the superintendent?" They said they would like to offer some suggestions and ask why they were not allowed to meet with Liu Hongxia. The guard said that these kinds of issues did not require the approval of the superintendent and that she would contact the leader of the second team, Ren Feng. They got through to Ren Feng, and on the phone, the family members told him about the situation and asked to meet with Liu Hongxia. Ren Feng said, "Liu Hongxia did not write the four statements¹, and did not give up Falun Gong. She is now being closely monitored and nobody can see her." Her family members said, "It is legal for us to meet with Liu Hongxia, and we must meet with her." Ren Feng said, "We do things according to the rules. Liu Hongxia has not met the requirements, so you can not meet with her." Her family members said, "What kind of rule is it that Falun Gong practitioners cannot be met with if they are not brainwashed? Is there any legal documentation for this? Please take us there and let us have a look." Ren Feng said, "There is no need to let you see it. We said you could not meet with her, so you can't." Ren Feng hung up. Her family members asked to see the superintendent, but the guard said, "You cannot see the superintendent, he is not in charge of this kind of situation." Her family members asked, "What is the superintendent in charge of then?" One male guard said, "The superintendent is in charge of the guards, not the affairs of the detainees." Her family member said, "Not letting us to visit our family members violates the regulation of the police department." The guard said, "You can sue us anywhere you want." Her family members demanded to see Section Leader Lian to report the situation. After they got through to him on the phone, he refused to see them. The family members had not seen the leaders even by lunch time.

In the afternoon, the family members came to the forced labour camp again. They saw the leader of the Second Team, Ren Feng. They asked again to meet with Liu Hongxia and left her some winter clothes and shoes. Ren Feng refused immediately. The family members were anxious about Liu Hongxia's health and did not know if she was being persecuted. Ren Feng said, "Do not worry! We do not beat or insult the detainees, they are all very well here!" When Liu Hongxia's mother said she was shocked by electric batons and punished physically, the female guard Liu beside Ren Feng said, "She must be wrong, and did not like to cooperate with us, or she would not have been beaten." No matter how her family members asked them, the results were all refusals. They could not enter the gate of the forced labour camp by requesting to meet with the superintendent.
