  • Shengli Oil Field Brainwashing Centre: Darker than a Prison

    During the seven years of persecution where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, the brainwashing centres have been the most deceptive, even as they persecute the largest number of practitioners. The brainwashing centres are called "Legal and Discipline Education Centres" in public, and the people are misled by their deceitful methods. The public is led to believe that these classes are to educate Falun Gong practitioners. They are in fact brainwashing centres that the Chinese Communist Party uses to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
