By Shanghai Dafa practitioners

(Clearwisdom.net) One day before the 16^th Party Congress was held earlier this year, Dafa practitioner Xia Haizhen was staying at home when the chief of the Political Security Section of the Jiang'an Police Department in Shanghai came to ask her to go to the police department to have a talk. Xia Haizhen refused to go with him because she did not commit any crime. Seeing that his deceptive tactic did not work, the section chief called in several policemen who were already waiting outside, and together they carried Xia out of her home. Xia Haizhen called out, "Come have a look! The police are treating innocent citizens like this!" The section chief was afraid of being exposed, so he yelled, "Stuff her mouth!" The neighbors were all astonished by what they saw. They couldn't believe that such a kindhearted woman with a disability would be arrested in Shanghai, an international metropolitan city. The only reason for the arrest was that Xia believed in "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance" and refused to give it up. Thus, Xia was kidnapped and sent to the "Shanghai Legal System Education School" (in fact a brainwashing center) to be brainwashed.

When Xia's husband came back home from work late that day, the neighbors told him, "We all know that Xia is a good person, so we called the police department asking them to release her. But they said they knew nothing about this incident."

Realizing that she had been sent to a place filled with evil elements, Xia decided to resist the evil with righteous thoughts. With her strong faith in Teacher, she was unyielding in the face of the brainwashing. Once at a meeting held to slander Dafa, she rebuked the illegal actions of the police and the school, saying loudly, "Our Teacher is great! Falun Dafa is good! Coercion cannot change people's hearts!"

After two months of attempted brainwashing, Xia remained unaffected and kept up her determined faith in Dafa. Not long after, she walked out of the brainwashing class in an upright and noble manner and was taken home by the street committee. However, the evil did not give up. Soon afterwards, Xia was missing again, and her whereabouts are currently unknown.
