persecution of Zhu Xiangguo. According to Zhu Xiangguo, he went to Beijing to validate Dafa during the
2001 Chinese New Year. He was arrested in Tiananmen Square. Because he refused
to give his name and address, the police poured buckets of cold water on him and
kicked his abdomen with their boots. They beat him so savagely that his shirt
was stuck to his back with his own blood. During his incarceration at the Shuangcheng Detention Center, the
perpetrators from the Shuangcheng City 610 Office ordered his family
to persuade him to give up Dafa. His brother beat and kicked him; his wife,
sister-in-law and child knelt on the floor and begged him, but Zhu Xiangguo
remained steadfast. Later he was sent to the Qiulin Company Brainwashing Class in Shuangcheng
City and held there for several months. Soon after his release, he went to
Beijing again to validate Dafa and was again sent to a detention center.
