Ms. Hu Meizhi, a schoolteacher at the Paizhouwan Central School in Jiayu County, Hubei Province, was arrested on September 9th, 2009. The school leaders led the local police to arrest her.

Chen Zhe (school principal of the Paizhouwan Central School as well as the Lantian Secondary School) and Yin Zuozhong (vice principal) read the newsletter "Words from the Heart in Jiayu County" and discovered that their bad deeds were exposed there. In order to take revenge on Falun Gong practitioners, Chen Zhe and Yin Zuozhong requested personnel from the County 610 office¹ to arrest teacher Ms. Hu Meizhi and send her to a brainwashing centre.

During the summer break, Xia Yu (employee from the Jiayu County 610 office), Chen Keping, Sun Zongwen, Huang Binhong (Jiayu County policemen) led a group of people and surrounded Ms. Hu's house. They wanted to send her to a forced labour camp but she did not open the door. They surrounded her house for a whole day but were unsuccessful in their attempt.

When the school reopened at 2:00 p.m. on September 9th, 2009, principal Chen Zhe and vice-principal Yin Zuozhong led four to five policemen to the school office to arrest Ms. Hu Meizhi. They handcuffed her so tightly that the handcuffs cut into her flesh. Ms. Hu did not cooperate, and the police forcefully dragged her towards the lift. Ms. Hu shouted, "The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) arrests good people. Renounce your CCP membership to ensure your safety. Falun Gong is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good."

The police grabbed Ms. Hu by her neck and dragged her to the lift where they beat her. At that time she was unable to talk after the beating. Some teachers exclaimed, "This is so frightening! She did not do anything wrong, how can they they treat her this way? The CCP is persecuting good people again on their 60th anniversary."

Currently, Hu Meizhi is being detained at the Tangxunhu brainwashing centre in Wuhan City. The school also sent Yin Deyan, wife of principal Zhao Wei from the Lianhe School to the Tangxunhu brainwashing centre to monitor Ms. Hu.
