(Clearwisdom.net) Sihui Prison is the main prison in Guangdong Province where male Falun Gong practitioners are held. Right now, dozens of practitioners are being detained there, including Zhuang Wenshu, Zhou Lei, Li Zhenmin, Chao Hao, Li Fulin, Li Zhenge, Li Jianhui, and Zhou Xiaowei from Shenzhen City; Feng Bingkun, Rao Chaoyuan and Shi Huiwen from Guangzhou City, Chen Wusheng and his two brothers, Huang Guiquan and Lin Qing from Jieyang, Xu Shuhua and Mai Yuefa from Yunfu, and Lin Xiangrui from Chaozhou.

More than twenty Dafa practitioners are being held at the Yangjiang Prison in Guangdong Province, including Li Kun and his son Li Xinhua, Wu Jincheng, Liu Jiansong, He Gengqing, Chen Xiangqian, Chen Wenjie from Jiangmen, and Chen Jinghui from Shaoguan.

The No. 3 Prison in Guangdong Province is also called the Meizhou Prison, and practitioners held there include Cai Yonghua and Huang Shirong from Jieyang, Xie Hanzhu and Zhong Xiling from Meizhou, and Liu Liping from Shanwei.

Practitioners illegally held at the Beijiang Prison in Shaoguan also include Huang Yongzhong and Zheng Junbiao from Jieyang.

On March 21, 2003, an article on the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net) reported that some practitioners from Tsinghua University had been sentenced to prison and were held at the Shaoguan Prison in Guangdong Province, including Ma Yan, Jiang Yuxia, Lin Yang, Huang Kui and Li Yanfang. It is thought that male practitioners are held at Beijiang Prison, and female practitioners are held at the former Shaoguan Women's Prison. On August 13, 2005, articles exposing the crimes at the Beijiang Prison in Guangdong Province were published on the Minghui website.

It is unknown how many female practitioners from Guangdong Province are held at the Guangzhou Women's Prison. This prison was originally located in Shaoguan and was moved to Guangzhou City a few years ago. From articles published on the Minghui website, we know that practitioners illegally held at this prison include Zhu Luoxin, Han Yuejuan and Zhang Shunying from Guangzhou City, Chen Jundiao, Wu Peifang and Wu Peifang [2 different persons] from Chaozhou, Cai Hui, Lin Shaofang and Lin Lifen from Jieyang, Li Meiping and Guo Yafen from Meizhou, Feng Yuqiong from Zhaoqing, and Peng Xiaohong, Lin Jinghong, Chen Jiequn and Li Meihua from Yunfu.

The Sanshui Forced Labor Camp in Guangdong Province is where male practitioners from Guangdong Province (except Guangzhou City and Shenzhen City) are incarcerated. Currently, more than 60 practitioners are held there, and it has been said that there used to be more than 200 practitioners held there.

In fact, more practitioners are being illegally arrested than before, and the perpetrators sentence practitioners to heavy prison terms and send them to prisons in different cities, so there is no way to know how many practitioners are incarcerated.

The Guangzhou Forced Labor Camp and the No. 2 Forced Labor Camp in Shenzhen City also hold male practitioners. The Sanshui Women's Labor Camp in Guangdong Province and the Chatou Forced Labor Camp in Guangzhou City also hold female practitioners.

Dafa practitioners are also detained at brainwashing centers. The practitioners are illegally arrested and sent for brainwashing without any due process, and the police never present warrants to justify the arrests. Many practitioners have been tortured to death at the brainwashing centers.

The Sanshui Brainwashing Center in Guangdong Province is a provincial brainwashing center. The usual session is three months, and practitioners who refuse to "reform" after three months are held for another three months until they give up their beliefs. Some practitioners have been held there for several years. Practitioner Xia Xianqiang from Mei County was first held at the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp and then sent to the Sanshui Brainwashing Center where he held a hunger strike in protest and was force-fed. Practitioner Wen Fenhua from Jieyang was tortured at the brainwashing center and released when she was at the brink of death. Practitioner Mo Yimei from Yangchun was sent to the Sanshui Brainwashing Center in May 2005, and is still being held because she refuses to give up her belief.

In September 2005, several practitioners were arrested in Guangzhou City, and several of them were sent to the Chatou Brainwashing Center in Guangzhou City, including practitioner Shi Lei.

There are long-term brainwashing centers in various parts of Guangdong Province, including the Maoming Brainwashing Center, the Fumin Brainwashing Center in Zhuhai City and the Meizhou Brainwashing Center. Others include the Shantou Brainwashing Center, the Zhaoqing Brainwashing Center, the Huanggang Brainwashing Center in Shaoguan, and the Qingyuan Drumming Training Ground Brainwashing Center in Qingyuan City.

The prisons holding Dafa practitioners are under the authority of the Guangdong Province Prison Administration Bureau, which is under the authority of the Guangdong Province Judicial Department. The labor camps that hold Dafa practitioners are under the authority of the Guangdong Province Labor Reeducation Bureau, which is also under the authority of the Guangdong Province Judicial Department. The Guangdong Province Judicial Department is under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Province Political and Judiciary Committee and the Guangdong Province 610 Office. The Guangdong Province Political and Judiciary Committee and the Guangdong Province 610 Office are directly or indirectly involved in the arrests of Dafa practitioners who are sent to brainwashing classes, as they often direct local 610 Office personnel who then instruct local police to arrest the practitioners. The central 610 Office controls the provincial 610 Office. As the just-cited chain of command describes, the Chinese Communist Party persecutes Dafa practitioners in a planned and systemic manner.

We are not doing enough to expose the persecution of Dafa practitioners. Between January 5, 2004 and February 5, 2004, Shenzhen City authorities sentenced the following practitioners to prison: Liao Nuli, Li Xiaoqiu, Luo Xufeng, Wang Yanfa, Wang Shuqin, Cheng Hao, Xu Xian, Li Weijun, Xu Jiapeng, Yuan Xiaolin, Shi Aiguang, Zhang Yiming, Zhao Yanke, Zeng Linmei, Huang Hong and Cai Yingfeng. It is unknown where they are being held, and we don't have any follow-up reports on practitioners illegally sentenced to prison in other areas.
