I was illegally arrested [the arrest of Falun Gong practitioners in China violates China's own constitution] in September 2002 and taken to a brainwashing class by police and employees of the security office at my work place. I was forced to undergo brainwashing. I was misled by the brainwashers. Even worse, not only was I misled, I also conducted brainwashing on other practitioners. I now realise that the "principles" I had recognised were wrong. I, hereby, solemnly declare, that all of what I said and wrote is null and void. The "three statements (to stop practising Dafa)" that I wrote in the brainwashing class are all null and void!

I obtained the Fa in 1997. Since then, I have benefited both mentally and physically from this practise, and my family life has become peaceful. Since July 20, 1999, the evil started persecuting Falun Gong; the local police constantly harassed me. They illegally arrested me and sent me to a detention centre on September 29, 1999. I was detained for seven months, during which time I received inhuman torture. I once sat on the tiger bench [a small iron bench that is approximately 20cm or 6 inches tall. One has to sit straight with the eyes looking straight ahead and is not allowed to make even the slightest move] for eight whole days. Police also cuffed eight of us female practitioners together, and poured cold water onto our bodies in the coldest winter weather. Police also had male prisoners beat us with metal clubs. Our buttocks were black and blue beyond imagination.
Two years passed, and the evil gang started a new round of cruel persecution. On July 19, 2001, the local police illegally sent me to a brainwashing class, where they subjected me to forced brainwashing. They changed their approach this time, pretending to be nice to me, and then they forced me to watch brainwashing programs, not allowing me to close my eyes. They used collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have accepted the brainwashing due to torture], to brainwash me. They also used my family members to put pressure on me. Under such high pressure, I wrote a "regret letter" and "guarantee letter" against my will.
I hereby solemnly declare, all I wrote that did not conform to Dafa is null and void. I will cultivate diligently, redouble my efforts and conduct myself as a genuine Dafa practitioner.

On September 30, 2002, the day before our National Holiday, the evil barged into my home, asked me to sign my name on a sheet of paper, and asked me if I still practised Falun Gong. I answered firmly, "I still practise." Two days later, the evil gang came again, forced me go to the detention centre, and tried to force me to sign my name again. I absolutely refused, and requested the opportunity to see the Head of the Police Station so that I could ask, "Why have you put me in a detention centre without any reason?" They ignored my requests, and told me that if I refused to sign, they would use torture devices on me. I had seen before with my own eyes how police had prisoners torture Falun Dafa practitioners with all sorts of devices. Due to lack of righteous thoughts, I became afraid. After more than twenty days, my family members wrote a guarantee letter for me, and I was released. I realised that what I did and thought was not correct.
I hereby solemnly declare that what I thought and what my family members wrote for me in the detention centre are all null and void. I will amend the negative effect that I brought to Dafa, and conduct myself as a genuine Dafa practitioner.

I obtained Dafa on November 18, 1995. Through cultivating in Dafa, I had more than ten kinds of sicknesses removed. However, after July 20, 1999, I wrote fake guarantees according to the evil' people’s requirements. I was so afraid that I turned in all of my Dafa materials besides Zhuan Falun, and Essentials for Further Advancement. I also signed my name, gave my fingerprints, and let them take my photo. After studying the Fa, I enlightened that I should step out to appeal for Dafa in a dignified manner. On January 20, 2000 I went to Tiananmen Square with my fellow practitioners, and I felt that I would never promise the evil any thing again.
I hereby declare, all I said, wrote, or did, or that my family/colleagues promised for me is null and void.

I hereby solemnly declare, all I said and did under the evil, high-pressure persecution is null and void. I will redouble my efforts to amend any losses and clarify the truth to people.
