University Teacher Dies in Brainwashing Class

University of Guangzhou teacher, Li Xiaojing was abducted at the end of June 2002 and taken to the brainwashing class of Guangzhou City's Huangpu Drug Rehabilitation Centre. She died the next day under unclear circumstances.

Li Xiaojing, female, around 30 years of age, was a teacher at the University of Guangzhou. On the night of June 27, 2002, she was forcefully taken to the brainwashing class by several thugs. Half an hour after supper on the following day (around 6 PM), an ambulance suddenly came to the Drug Rehabilitation Centre. Many police officers also arrived at the brainwashing class. They dispatched all Dafa practitioners to a meeting room in the brainwashing centre to watch television there, forbidding anyone from leaving the room. Next, they blocked the entrance to the room where Li Xiaojing was staying and took photos inside the room. The ambulance did not leave until after 7PM and the police left after 11PM. The practitioners who stayed in the room next to Li Xiaojing were also dispatched somewhere else. A few days later, the head of the local "610 office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] told several practitioners that Li Xiaojing had already died. Because the Dafa practitioners held in the brainwashing centre are isolated from each other in separate rooms, with both outside communication and communication between practitioners prohibited, little is known about how Li Xiaojing was persecuted and how she died. It is hoped that anybody who knows how Li Xiaojing died will provide some details about her death. It is also hoped that her family, without any fear of the authority's ferocity, will stand up for justice by disclosing the facts about the persecution of Li Xiaojing and calling for justice on her behalf. We also hope that the world's human rights organizations can independently help investigate this case and put an end to the evil persecution of Falun Gong by Jiang's regime.
