Ms. Wu Bilin and Mr. Cheng Dehan Arrested by the 610 Office and Detained in Chenjiaji Brainwashing Centre in Hubei Province

Ms. Wu Bilin, 59, is a practitioner from Wuhan City, Hubei Province. On August 6th, 2007, she went to the family housing area of the "288 Plant" in the Huangpi District to distribute leaflets exposing the persecution. A person who was deceived by the propaganda reported her to the police. Officers from the Huangpi District Police Department arrested her, and she is being detained at the Chenjiaji Brainwashing Centre in the Jiang'an District, Wuhan City.

To protest the unjust detention, Ms. Wu held a hunger strike for several days. The temperature was high day after day in Wuhan City and as a result she became extremely weak. Hu Shaobin (male) with the Jiang'an District 610 Office¹ incited inmates to force-feed her with vinegar and chilli water several times a day. They also violently struck her.

The Laodong Street Police Station in Wuhan City was also involved in this persecution. For eight years the harassment and mistreatment of Ms. Wu by the 610 Offices in Wuhan City caused her family great anguish. Her husband could not sleep and her 80-year-old mother developed a cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalised after learning of her daughter's arrest.

Practitioner Mr. Cheng Dehan, 30, is a staff member of the Vehicle Plant in Jiang'an District, Wuhan City. On June 22nd, officers from the No. 1 Police Division in Wuhan City arrested him, searched his home, and seized 1,000 yuan². As a result, his parents, wife, and children have lost their main source of income. At present, he has been transferred from the Jiang'an District Detention Centre to the Chenjiaji Brainwashing Centre.
