Dafa Practitioners Persecuted at the Brainwashing Centre in the Dalian Huanbao Guest House of Liaoning Province
2006-11-07The brainwashing centre forces practitioners to watch videos and recordings slandering Dafa, and uses former practitioners that have turned against Dafa.

Every morning, two of the people from each room report their progress to the leaders. As long as practitioners do not write the "four statements", they are not released.
