Canadian Citizen's Mother is Abducted and Taken for Brainwashing in Wuhan, Hubei Province
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) Police from the Douhuti Township Police Station in
Gongan County, Hubei Province abducted Ms. Li Guangzhen in March of this year.
Ms. Li is the mother of Canadian citizen Mr. Xiao Jin. She was abducted because
someone reported her to the police for appealing against the persecution of
Falun Gong, and for distributing Falun Gong truth clarifying materials. After North American media exposed the abduction of Ms. Li Guangzhen, her
situation received widespread attention. Mr. Xiao received letters and phone
calls from several members of the Canadian Parliament expressing their concern
over the case. The Canadian Embassy also wrote to the Hubei Province Foreign
Affairs Office inquiring about the incident. The incident caused quite a stir in
overseas Chinese communities. Classmates, friends of Mr. Xiao, Falun Gong
practitioners and many Chinese people with a righteous conscience called and
wrote to Mr. Xiao's hometown and related government agencies, asking them to
immediately release Ms. Li Guangzhen. However, the public outcry from the international community fell on deaf
ears. Ignoring the appeals, the "610 Office" (1) and associated
agencies of Gongan County in Hubei Province forced Ms. Li Guangzhen to attend a
brainwashing class that slandered Falun Gong. They asked Ms. Li to sign an
affidavit admitting that her appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong was
wrong. She sternly refused to sign. Under the direct order of the Hubei Province
"610 Office," the brainwashing class continued their mental
persecution of Ms. Li Guangzhen. After calling the National Security Brigade in Gongan County, Mr. Xiao Jin
learned that the National Security Brigade and the "610 Office" had
sent his mom to the most notorious brainwashing class in Wuhan City: the "Hubei
Province Center for Political and Judiciary Education." It had been
reported that the brainwashing class in Hubei Province is one of the most
vicious in its torture of Falun Gong practitioners. A County Political and
Judiciary Committee vice deputy, Mr. Xia, demanded that the Gongan County's
Jingjiang River Administration Bureau in Hubei Province, where Mr. Xiao Jin's
father used to work, come up with 4,000 Yuan (2) and a car to send Ms. Li
Guangzhen to Wuhan City. A resident of Wuhan reports that her sister had been detained for one year at
the Hewan Women's Labor Camp in Wuhan City. She was still very resolute in her
practice of Falun Gong and just as cheerful after her release. Later, the sister
was abducted and taken to the "Hubei Province Center for Political and
Judiciary Education." After only a few months in detention she signed the
Repentance Paper against her own will, under extreme coercion and torture. After
the sister was released this time, she was severely mentally disturbed and did
not want to talk about her painful experience to anyone. Only after more than
half a year did she admit to her sister that she had made a mistake by signing
the Repentance Paper. She sent her solemn declaration to the Minghui website. Having heard this story, we are sure that Ms. Li Guangzhen is suffering the
same kind of cruel mental torture at this moment. Mr. Xiao Jin was very worried
about the safety of his mother. According to Clearwisdom's account, there have
been at least 38 Falun Gong practitioners persecuted to death in Hubei Province. Mr. Xiao Jin is appealing to the worldwide community to show concern about
his mom's abduction and mental torture. He is currently trying to contact the
Chinese legal community, hoping to secure his mom's freedom through legal
avenues, and to prosecute those individuals and agencies directly responsible
for the persecution of his mother.
