Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Luo Xirong, in her 50s, lives in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. She was arrested while exposing the truth of the persecution and telling people the facts of Falun Dafa near the Datan-Sanliqiao suburban area on February 4th, 2007. She was under the custody of the State Security Division of Huangpi District Police Department and was taken to the Wuhan City Wujiashan Women's Detention Centre on the afternoon of the same day. On the afternoon of the next day, the Huangpi District 610 Office1 Head, Hu Shuzh (male), ransacked her home.
Ms. Luo went to Beijing three times from the end of 1999 to the beginning of 2000 to speak out for Falun Dafa. She was arrested and taken back twice, and each time she was detained for more than two months. In August 2000, she was arrested and taken from her home and forcefully taken to a brainwashing class held in the National Guard Training base. She was detained here for more than 20 days. She was forced to do heavy labour under the baking sun and write the Three Statements2.
In the autumn of 2001, Ms. Luo was arrested again while passing out leaflets exposing the persecution in the countryside. She was sentenced to 18 months of forced labour and detained in the Wuhan City Hewan Drug Rehabilitation Centre.
In the autumn of 2003, Ms. Luo Xirong was forcefully taken to a brainwashing centre for one month.
In the seven and a half years of persecution, Ms. Luo has cumulatively been detained for more than 600 days, which has caused both her family and herself deep pain, both mentally and physically.
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.
