(Clearwisdom.net) Officers from the State Security Subunit in the Changping District of Beijing have often shown up at the homes or work units of Falun Gong. Without showing any legal documents, they would first abduct the practitioners and then conduct searches. Falun gong students thus abducted have been sent to the brainwashing center run by the Changping 610 Office. They have, throughout the day, been forced to watch fabricated news reports that slander Falun Gong and its founder. If anyone refuses to watch, security guards would surround and hold him or her down. Some work units have been asked to send in dedicated personnel to watch their abducted employees around the clock.

In the brainwashing center, officials have placed numerous Buddhism books, instruments, brochures and songs to force practitioners to change their belief. The officials have claimed that almost all those "transformed" have turned to believing in Buddhism.

Li Gang, Cheng Liawei, and Hai Long are among the Changping District State Security Subunit officers who are directly engaged in the persecution. They coerce Falun Gong students to write critiques and statements renouncing Falun Gong. All such articles have to follow an official guideline. Otherwise the student would be considered stubborn and having the wrong attitude. The officials have lied to the students that if they followed these instructions, they would soon be released. In fact, these materials have been gathered as "evidence" to be used for sending the Falun Gong students first to the detention center, where the Procuratorate would turn a deaf ear to their appeals. The statements and other documents written and signed have been used as evidence in sentencing them to prison.

We strongly appeal to the international community to pay attention to the unlawful acts by officers at Changping District State Security Subunit in Beijing, to investigate the officers Liu Gang, Cheng Laiwei, Hai Long and others who are primarily responsible for the crime, and to demand the unconditional release of Falun Gong students who have been sentenced to prison in violation of the law.
