On November 9, 2005, captain Yang Yanguo and others severely beat Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Xu Baotian because he refused to take notes during a brainwashing session held in the Fourth Brigade of the Huludao Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province. They struck his face, chest, and head. Both his face and head were bleeding and swollen from the beatings.
