Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).
On July 26th, 2008, police from the Jiefangbei Police Station, in Yuzhong District, Chongqing City went to the home of Ms. Xu Wenxiu and demanded that she not go out during the Beijing Olympic Games. On the morning of August 1st, Ms. Xu was arrested simply because she went out to buy stamps. The police also searched her home.
On August 4th, the police station showed a sentencing document to Ms. Xu Wenxiu and ordered her to sign the document, but Ms. Xu refused. The Yuzhong District Politics and Law Committee, the 610 Office1, and the Jiefangbei Neighborhood Committee then dispatched people to take Ms. Xu to the "Training Centre" in Nanan District for brainwashing. She was held until October 6th.
Due to persecution in the brainwashing centre, Ms. Xu Wenxiu's legs became painfully swollen, and her hands and feet can no longer perform basic movements. The police station and neighbourhood committee also dispatched people to engage in long-term surveillance of Ms. Xu's home.
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.
