(Clearwisdom.net) It has been confirmed that the full address of Jiangbei Brainwashing Center is: Zhangyongjitun, Liming Village, Songbei District, Harbin.

Although the brainwashing center set up by the city 610 Office appears decent from the outside, it is actually the site used to detain Falun Dafa practitioners

This brainwashing center was built with the hard-earned money collected from the general populace by the Chinese Communist Party. It is used to persecute practitioners who follow the principles of "Truth, Compassion, Tolerance." On June 12, 2006, Luo Gan, Zeng Qinghong, and other perpetrators came to Harbin. Since that time, the 610 Office in Harbin has escalated the torture against practitioners and held many brainwashing sessions. They take turns holding the brainwashing in different regions of the city. Each region assigns the task of arresting practitioners to street committees, which in turn assigns the task to local communities. The officials in the local communities then coordinate with security offices to plot the arrests of certain practitioners. They first deceive the practitioner, saying that he needs to come for a meeting. If he refuses, they will drag him to the Jiangbei brainwashing center.

In the brainwashing center, practitioners are deprived of their freedom and human rights. Each practitioner is watched by one staff member from the community and another from the street committee. They eat and live in the same room as the practitioner. Each practitioner who is sent to the brainwashing center will cost his street committee 5,000 yuan. (The street committee gets money from the government, which collects taxes from the general populace. In other words, they take money from people to torture them.) Practitioners are forced to watch DVDs attacking Dafa and write an article afterward. The personnel from the city 610 Office or area 610 Office will have "conversations" with them in attempt to "transform" them. After writing that article, they also have to write the so-called three statements and materials denouncing Dafa. If the officials don't agree with the written materials, the brainwashing session is extended.

The officials in this brainwashing center include:

Song, male, over 50 years old, around 1.7 m (5 ft. 7 in.) tall. He is in charge of food and other aspects of daily living. He is affiliated with the 610 Office.

Xu, male, over 30 years old, around 1.9 m (6 ft. 3 in.) tall, fair skinned and wears glasses. He is a high-ranking official. He is in charge of "transforming" practitioners. He is also affiliated with the 610 Office.

Zhang Wei, male, over 40 years old, from the south. He speaks with a southern accent, is around 1.8 m (5 ft. 11 in.) tall, and is also a high-ranking official. He is in charge of transforming Dafa practitioners. He is affiliated with the Nangang area 610 Office.

Others involved include a policeman that guards the gate and is in charge of measuring blood pressure in the morning and evening, a female nurse that takes pulses, and another woman that always accompanies the nurse and may be a secretary. Besides those individuals, there are others hired to cook and clean, etc. The thugs from the city and area 610 Offices willfully waste the hard-earned money collected from people. Every one of their meals is very elaborate with many dishes. Sometimes they even sing Karaoke during the meal. Judging from the brand new renovations and smell of the building interior, this brainwashing center was newly built, maybe last year. At present, no one is in the brainwashing center. Both gates are closed and only one old man guards the gate.
