The Truth about the So-called "Loving and Caring Centre" of Luotai Villa in Fushun City
2006-01-30To fulfil the quotas for "transformed" practitioners, fake practitioners are sent from various areas to the brainwashing centre. In September 2005, to complete the quota, a community in Fushun City sent a resident with low pay to the brainwashing centre, and the community paid him 20 yuan per day. When they were "transforming" him, he didn't know anything. When they asked him if he'd ever learned Falun Gong, he said he hadn't. When asked how he'd come to be there, he said the secretary in his community told him to come, telling him he'd be expected to study for a few days and could then return home, for which he would be paid a wage plus food and expenses, which he said was better than staying at home. -
