Falun Dafa Practitioners in Hainan Province Subjected to Brutal Brainwashing

My relative works in a seaport city and he has been practising Falun Dafa and gained many benefits from it. However, he was forced to attend a brainwashing class in a labour camp, where the persecutors brainwashed him to renounce his belief in Falun Dafa. He then cooperated with the 610 Office¹ when they arrested me and took me to a local brainwashing class. I refused to cooperate, but he helped them to abduct me from my hometown and take me to a seaport city in Hainan Province, where I suffered more persecution.

The seaport city’s brainwashing class was located in a police station, near the first and second detention office. I don’t know the exact address. After I was taken there, I learned that this brainwashing class had started three months prior, and the place was continuously abducting, locking up and torturing Dafa practitioners.

After practitioners were arrested and brought to that place, they were deprived of sleep. The persecutors put us under surveillance, and we were not even allowed to blink. One practitioner who was a teacher was not allowed to sleep for seven days, and this caused him to become absent-minded and suffer from amnesia. He now knows nothing about what happened.

Dafa practitioners were constantly beaten, insulted and deprived of sleep. Those who were tortured would keep going until they became absent-minded or lost consciousness. The policemen then took advantage of their confused state of mind to force them to sign the guarantee statement to renounce Falun Dafa. When Dafa practitioners became clear again, they would declare that they invalidated the agreement not to practice Falun Gong. The policemen used all kinds of torture methods on practitioners. On five occasions, I suffered brutal abuse for more than forty days. They placed handcuffs and foot shackles on me most of the time. One time both of my hands and feet were handcuffed to the window bars for 24 hours, and my hands became completely bruised.

Hainan is the hottest province in China. The temperature is usually around 38�o C (100�o F) every day. The wicked policemen did not allow practitioners to shower or change clothes, and we were not allowed to communicate with other practitioners. Groups of two policemen took turns watching us. I never followed their orders. They beat me with the Falun Dafa book, Zhuan Falun. My head was beaten to numbness. They used dreadful language to insult Falun Dafa. At one point, I signed the guarantee statement with an unclear mind, but I declared the agreement invalid after I became clear-headed. I was then tortured even more.

During the last few days of my detention, the seaport policemen and "610 Office" agents started to make up lies about my history. They tried to sentence me to labor camp. During this period, two thugs pinched my arm very hard and a collaborator², Chen Haihua, led the persecution against me as team leader and beat me so hard that there bruises all over my body.

The authorities at the brainwashing class forced Dafa practitioners to sign the guarantee statement, even though they knew it was coerced and that it was not from our minds and hearts. Then they tried to make practitioners who had been forced to sign the statement to practise another qigong practice. They tried to ruin our minds completely.

Chen Haihua and Wu Binru were the most wicked people I encountered in the brainwashing class.
