Date of Most Recent Arrest: September 7th, 2011
Most Recent Place of Detention: Sanshengmiao Brainwashing Centre, Guihua Town, Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province
Persecution Suffered: Brainwashing, forced injections, beatings, torture, detention, home ransacking

On the night of September 7th, government officials of Lichun Town, along with police officer Wang and several members of the 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong), stormed into the home of Falun Gong practitioner Tan Chunmin. They beat her, and took her Falun Gong books, a video (valued at a few hundred yuan), and then arrested her and took her to the Sanshengmiao Brainwashing Centre.

While in the brainwashing centre, Tan Chunmin sat with her legs crossed in the lotus position and was therefore brutally tortured by guard Liao. He even broke her bed in the process. Liao threatened Ms. Tan, “If you sit in the lotus position again, I will sting you with nettles and pour pepper juice over you.” Personnel in the brainwashing centre also brutally forced-fed Ms. Tan and put toxins in her food, which severely damaged her health. Doctor Yang of the Guihua Hospital examined Ms. Tan and said, “No medicine can cure her.” Because Ms. Tan's condition was incurable and the brainwashing centre personnel were afraid of being held responsible for her possible death, they brought in her mother, who they threatened. They ordered her to sign an agreement accepting responsibility of any consequences when they released her daughter.

People participating in the forced feeding were Yin Wujie, Wang Liju, and Wan Laowu

Tan Chunmin Cruelly Mistreated in Brainwashing Centre

On the morning of July 11th, 2010 at about 10 o'clock, personnel from the Lichun Town Government, along with officer Wang from the Li Chun police station, personnel from the 610 Office, Yuejin from the Government Defence Team, Luo Shicai, the Second Team captain of the village, He Mingying, the village secretary, and Tan Chunxian, who lives at the Sixth Team in Baiguo Village, arrested Tan Chunmin while she was shopping. Bystanders didn't understand why she was being arrested. Police officers and their companions lied to the public by claiming she was a pickpocket. Tan Chunmin shouted, “Falun Gong is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” The police officers became afraid and hit Ms. Tan on the head, put her in handcuffs, and took her to the Sanshengmiao Brainwashing Centre in Pengzhou City.

During her time in the brainwashing centre, Ms. Tan's room was sprayed with toxic ant killer poison, and the door was immediately closed to make her suffer. Wang Liju turned the television to its highest volume in order to torment her. Wang stated that the longer a Falun Gong practitioner is imprisoned, the more money she will make.

At around 7 o'clock at night on July 21st, government officials from Lichun Town, along with officer Wang from the police station, and United Defence Team members Liu Chengming, Zhou Yusong, Huang Helun, Xiang Xing, and a few members of the 610 Office, stormed into the home of Zhang Yixiang (address: Twelfth Team, Beiguo Village, Lichun Town, Pengzhou City). These people also beat his wife and brother-in-law, who was seriously injured, and thus had to pay over 1,000 yuan¹ in medical expenses. They also injured his wife's hands. On the way to the Sanshengmiao Brainwashing Centre, Zhang Yixiang was put in handcuffs and beaten.
