Married Couple Arrested and Brainwashed

On September 9th, 2009, policemen from the National Security Group of Haikou City Police Department arrested Falun Gong practitioners Wang Juan and Huang Ande. The couple was sent to a brainwashing centre and they have been detained ever since. Their relatives tried to find out where they were, but the police claimed that they did not know anything about them.

Ms. Wang Juan, between 30 and 40 years old, works for Haikou Shuguang Chemical Instrument Co., Ltd. Her husband Huang Ande is more than 60 years old. He retired a few years ago.

Wang Juan had a unusual disease before practising Falun Gong. She visited many hospitals but the medical treatments were useless. Her family member stated that she was on the verge of death many times. After she started to practise Falun Gong, the disease disappeared and her health recovered. Huang Ande suffered from insomnia for more than 10 years before starting to practise Falun Gong. After cultivation, he become very healthy and his face would shine.

On September 4th or 5th, 2009, the couple went missing. Their relatives uncovered the following facts. On September 4th, Wang Juan went to work as usual. At lunch time on September 5th, someone went to her company and took away her note books. Her colleague asked for the identity of the person. The person showed ID and warned that what happened could not be disclosed to anybody else. The person claimed that if Wang Juan came back with 15 days, she should be okay; if not, she must have committed a serious crime.

Their relatives did not know their whereabouts or why they were arrested. Therefore, they visited their residential committee, local police station, Meilan Police Station, and Haikou City Police Department. However, nobody admitted the arrests or knowing their whereabouts. Having no other choice, they reported the situation to the local police station.

All the facts indicated that the couple was arrested by the police. However, the police refused to admit it.

Wang Juan's relatives were so worried about them that they could not eat or sleep well. Around October 4th, the local police station informed the relatives that they could visit the couple at the hotel of Hainan State Farms. When the police were asked why they arrested the couple, they claimed that they did not arrest them. They just asked the couple to "study" something.

The 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) of Haikou City has operated a brainwashing centre in the hotel of Hainan State Farms for two years. The brainwashing centre is on the 1st floor. Monitoring cameras have been installed at the main entrance of the corridor. The steel door is always locked and guarded by security at the end of the corridor. The guards of the brainwashing centre use all kinds of methods to torture determined Falun Gong practitioners, including harassment, cursing, humiliation, beating-up, hanging-up and deprivation of sleep.

Our current understanding is that the National Security Group of Haikou City arrested the couple.
