1. [Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province] "610 Office" Is
Plotting to Open a Brainwashing Session Recently, the Mudanjiang City "610 Office" [a bureau specifically created by the
Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration
in the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches] has been plotting a
brainwashing session for a new round of persecution against Dafa practitioners. This session also
extends to the neighboring counties. Since the local Dafa practitioners have been clarifying the
truth of Dafa to people, the units who have received the notice from the "610 Office" are
reluctant to act. It is hard for the evil Jiang's regime to keep the persecution going. On September 17, 2003, five Dafa practitioners from Zhangjiakou city delivered truth-clarifying

not yet known. On September 16, 2003, local officers illegally forced 20 Dafa practitioners from Bai Qi into

How the persecution will be executed is not known. There have been around 20 Dafa practitioners sent
to the Fushun Brainwashing Session. 5. [Hebei Province] Four Dafa Practitioners Escape from Gaoyang Forced
