(Clearwisdom.net) Chatou Brainwashing Center in Guangzhou has been persecuting local Dafa practitioners ever since its establishment at the beginning of 2000. When it was just established, the authorities illegally charged Dafa practitioners, their workplaces and neighborhood committee 9,500 yuan every month per practitioner. The amount has been reduced to 1,000 yuan. At present, there are over ten Dafa practitioners who remain in detention and are suffering torture at the brainwashing center. Details about each are listed below:

1. Mr. Li Jianzhong, 38 years old, is an engineer of the Guangdong Highway Design Institute. As a result of his excellent work, he was commended by his workplace. During the 2005 Spring Festival, the Party committee secretary at his workplace sent him to the brainwashing center because he publicly clarified the facts of the persecution to his colleagues. In order to avoid the persecution and the constant threat of arrest, Mr. Li's wife left home with her daughter and has been homeless and destitute for almost two years. According to Lai Jianfeng, the brainwashing center's chief instructor, Li Jianzhong's workplace knows the whereabouts of his wife and daughter. When his daughter turns two, they will arrest his wife.
