On March 15th, 2010, several officers led by Huang Shuiqing and Hu Jun of the Hubei University of Technology's Security Division broke into Mr. Mei Chuanjun's office in the university's Computer Science Institute. They forcibly took Mr. Mei, who had received an award of Young Teacher of Excellence, to the former Tangxunhu Brainwashing Centre (also known as the Banqiao Legal Education Centre) in Hubei Province. They did so without cause and without following any legal procedure.

In September 2006, officials of the university's Communist Party had taken Mr. Mei to the brainwashing centre for practising Falun Gong. He was subjected to brainwashing attempts there for over forty days.

After his release, Mr. Wei was constantly harassed by officials of the Wuhan City 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong). University officials, at the direction of the 610 Office, suspended him from teaching and withheld part of his salary. Although Mr. Wei was fully qualified to compete for teaching positions, officials at the Computer Science Institute threatened him and maintained his suspension until they finally fired him from his job.

Mr. Mei was forced to look for odd jobs off campus. Nonetheless, university authorities continued to send officials to harass him at his home. They kept track of his whereabouts since they were worried that he might appeal his case. In August 2009, university authorities promised Mr. Mei that he could return to work. However, he was not permitted to teach. Instead, he was placed in an office that maintained reference materials.
