There is a “transformation class” [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] being conducted in the Mianyang Hi-tech District in Sichuan Province. This programme was set up specifically to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, and is administered by the Mianyang Hi-tech District 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) and Political and Judiciary Committee. Officials from the local State Security Bureau, Domestic Security Division, police station and residential committee utilise this facility as an underground prison for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. The facility is actually a brainwashing centre, operating without legal procedures and used solely for the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
Mr. Wang Yancai, 69, is a practitioner from Yongxing Town. On October 19th, police officer Jia Ge deceived him into stepping out of his home and going downstairs, whereupon Mr. Wang was arrested by two plainclothes policemen. He is currently being detained in the Mianyang Hi-tech District Brainwashing Centre. On October 26th, officers from the Puming Police Station arrested practitioner Ms. Chen Jiazhu, an elderly woman over seventy years old and a retired employee of the Hi-tech District Faxiang Factory. She was also taken to the brainwashing centre. Another two practitioners from Yongxing Town, Mr. Zhou Hongyun (over eighty years old) and Ms. Guo Yuqiong (over fifty years old), have also been detained in the brainwashing centre.
Officials announced that the practitioners would undergo brainwashing for two months. These practitioners are upstanding, law-abiding citizens. Falun Gong brought great changes to their lives; they became healthy, saving medical expenses for the country and lessening the financial burden on their children. They followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and improved their moral standards.
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials from the Mianyang Hi-tech 610 Office, Police Department and Procuratorate have been actively persecuting practitioners, trying to force them to give up their belief. In carrying out the persecution, the CCP officials are breaking the law; they have arrested and detained practitioners, deprived them of their constitutional freedoms, and abused and defamed them at will.
The Mianyang Hi-tech Brainwashing Centre is located within the beautiful resort area of Pumingtaohua Mountain, Fucheng District, Mianyang. The brainwashing centre is hidden in a country-style house named “Plum Blossom Family” (pronounced “Nongjiale”), Group 8 of Gejiamiao Village. The officials arranged this location as a cover for their crimes in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
The Nongjiale main building is two stories high, with a cafeteria on the first floor and hotel rooms on the second floor. There is a big deck for entertainment at the back entrance of the main building, with about twenty Mahjong tables set up for the tourists. There is another two-story building at the lower level of the deck. The brainwashing centre is located in this building's underground level.
Most of the tourists are entertained at the front building, or on the deck at the back entrance. From the deck, visitors only see the beautiful scenery of the area, unaware of the terrible activities taking place on the lower level of the building.
Falun Gong practitioners are detained separately in the underground brainwashing centre. They are deprived of all freedom and not allowed to communicate with anyone, completely isolated from the outside world. Practitioners are held indoors continually and do not know who else is being detained.
There are many “educators” in the brainwashing centre, who assist the CCP in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. This group consists of officials from local police departments and residential committees, or people from the practitioners' workplaces. Some of these people had even practised Falun Gong before, but later gave it up under the pressure of the persecution.
The “educators” employ a variety of brainwashing tactics in an attempt to force practitioners to denigrate Falun Gong and Teacher Li, the founder of Falun Gong, and to force practitioners to write guarantee statements to renounce practising Falun Gong. Practitioners who resist are verbally abused and threatened with forced labour and job loss, and their family members are also threatened with losing their jobs. Practitioners who do not succumb to brainwashing have been taken to forced labour camps or detention centres, where they were subjected to torture.
