Nearly 100 Practitioners Detained at the Yongzhou City Brainwashing Center in Hunan Province

December 25, 2011 |   By a Clearwisdom correspondent from Hunan Province, China

(Clearwisdom.net) Since October 2011, nearly one hundred practitioners have been detained at the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center in Shuitan District, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. These practitioners were arrested from all the counties and districts within Yongzhou.

Between October 8 and October 19, about a dozen officers from the Shuangpai County government, police department, and Political and Judiciary Committee broke into the homes of several practitioners, arresting three.

Around November 7, agents and officers from the Lingling District 610 Office and Domestic Security Division arrested and incarcerated practitioners Ms. Wang Yuerong, Ms. Cheng Qiuluan, and Ms. Huang Jinfeng at the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center. Around November 14, they arrested and incarcerated Ms. Wang Huijun at the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center.

In November, director of the Ningyuan County 610 Office, Yue Yongzheng, and director of the Shunling Town Comprehensive Management Office, Ou Shuangcai, held practitioners Mr. He Daicheng, Ms. Chen Qinxiu, Mr. Huang Guosheng, and Ms. Peng Gerong at the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center.

At 4:00 p.m. on November 28, about two dozen officers from the Xintian County 610 Office and Domestic Security Division and the Longquan Town government broke into Ms. Liu Tuxiu's home, arresting her. She was incarcerated at the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center.

In October, practitioners Ms. He Xianzhi, Ms. Pan Hong'e, and Mr. Zhao Xunzhuang were incarcerated at the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center. On October 24, Ms. Tian Caiyin of Dongan County was incarcerated at the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center. At the end of November, Mr. Jiang Layuan, a former mathematics teacher, and Ms. Tian Caiyinng were sent to the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center by their employers for clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa in public.

The 610 Office is the Root of the Persecution

The Jiang regime has persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners for more then ten years. Many people have learned the truth about Falun Dafa, and consciously refuse to participate in the persecution. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members of Yongzhou act against their conscience and persecute Falun Dafa practitioners.

After Tang Xianglin took office in the Yongzhou City Political and Judiciary Committee in October 2011, the Yongzhou City 610 Office, Domestic Security Division, and Political and Judiciary Committee opened the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center in the Lengshui District. They assigned quotas to corresponding offices in each district and county under their authority, and had practitioners arrested and detained in the brainwashing center.

The brainwashing center continually broadcasts videos defaming Falun Dafa. They hire highly-paid collaborators, who betrayed Falun Dafa, and have them try to spread rumors and false theories to practitioners. They use mental torture and physical punishment to coerce practitioners to write the three statements and to give up their beliefs. In order to accelerate the “transformation” process, the center uses nerve-damaging drugs on practitioners.

The 610 Office was created solely for the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners by the Jiang regime on June 10, 1999. Its function is similar to the Nazi Gestapo. It has committed countless crimes over the past twelve years. The Yongzhou 610 Office asked the City Finance Bureau for a bonus of 10,000 yuan for each “transformed” practitioner. Some“transformed” practitioners were then fined 10,000 yuan. The brainwashing center has televisions everywhere. Agents coerce practitioners to watch videos defaming Dafa, scolding the Teacher of Dafa, slandering Dafa, and urging them to betray fellow practitioners. They have seven collaborators from Hainan Province. The collaborators are experienced brainwashers who have been working in prisons and forced labor camps for many years.

The brainwashing center is under the direct command of the Hunan Province 610 Office. The head of the Hunan 610 Office recently came to the brainwashing center to give direct supervision. More than 40 practitioners were incarcerated during the first phase of the brainwashing center's operation. The second phase is currently underway, and the number of detained practitioners is unknown. Zhou Wenxuan and Xu Yuxiang are “transformed” practitioners who now act as collaborators for the brainwashing center.

The Yongzhou Lengshuitan District 610 Office has been arresting and detaining practitioners in the brainwashing center since October 2011.

The brainwashing center is located in Jieluqiao Town. It is still holding at least ten practitioners. Most of the practitioners were arrested at their homes. Some suddenly disappeared and were later found in the brainwashing center. The brainwashing center has denied all requests for family visits.

On November 15, Yongzhou practitioners Mr. Yue Liangzhen and Ms. Zhang Huacui went grocery shopping but never returned. Their whereabouts are unknown. Their families suspect that they are detained at the Jieluqiao Brainwashing Center.

An Outstanding Teacher and His Wife Arrested and Held at Brainwashing Center

At 7:00 a.m. on November 25, the Lanshan County Grain Bureau deputy director Jiang Yunqi called Mr. Lei Zhiyong and claimed to be interested in purchasing rice. When Mr. Lei left his rice shop, four plainclothes officers arrested him under the order of Jiang Yunqi. The officers did not show any identification or legal documents.

Mr. Lei, 43, is a native of Leijialing Village, Huoshi Township, Lanshan County. He first worked as a teacher in Xinyu Middle School after he graduated from college, and he was later transferred to the Lanshan First Middle School for his outstanding performance. Mr. Lei was praised by both teachers and students alike for his hard work and willingness to help others.

Although he was admired by his colleagues and students, Mr. Lei has been repeatedly arrested, detained, and persecuted for his belief in Falun Dafa. Between 1999 and 2001, he was detained in detention centers several times. In 2002, he was arrested by the 610 Office and the Domestic Security Division and sentenced to six years in prison. Mr. Lei was fired from the school. He was imprisoned at Jinshi Prison in Changde, where he was tortured by guards. Mr. Lei bears scars as a result of the torture he endured.

Around 7:00 a.m. on December 4, a group of plainclothes officers arrested Ms. Lei's wife, Ms. Li Chunyi, at their store while she was unloading goods.

Ms. Li, 45, was imprisoned in a forced labor camp for more than a year after appealing for the right to practice Falun Dafa in Beijing in 2000. During the seven years that her husband, Mr. Lei, was imprisoned, she took care of his 70-year-old mother and their own young daughter. The couple were both arrested recently, leaving their shop with no one to manage it, and leaving their daughter and Mr. Lei's mother without care.

The arrest was conducted by Jiang Yunqi, the deputy director of the Lanshan County Grain Bureau where Ms. Li works. On December 3, Jiang called Ms. Li and asked her to “visit” Mr. Lei in the brainwashing center. Jiang had made similar calls several days before, but Ms. Li did not go because she needed to attend to the shop. The officers then directly arrested her at the shop.

Cruel Party Members Meet with Karmic Retribution

Ancient wisdom reminds us: “Persisting in evil brings about self-destruction.” People who are involved in the persecution should learn from the live examples around them, and make the right choice for themselves.

In 2001, Peng Kaifa, head of the Qiyang County Party Committee, issued a work plan at the county political and judiciary work conference. While talking about the third item, “Fighting Falun Gong to the end,” before he finished his words, he fainted and collapsed to the ground. Even though he was admitted to the Changsha Hospital, he has never recovered and remains in vegetative state.

The first director of the Qiyang 610 Office, Peng Wenhua, tripped over his own shoe laces and fell to the first floor from the second floor. He suffered a fractured clavicle. The second director, Zhou Bingsheng, experienced a motorcycle accident and suffered a fractured scapula. The third director, Li Bengguo, had a fight with his wife, who later violently squeezed and ruptured her husbands testicles. The Qiyang County Economy Committee director, Zhang Xuyou, slandered Falun Dafa and died in a car accident.

Peng Zhongjiang, deputy head of the Lanshan County Political and Judiciary Committee, went to Lanshan County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital seeking treatment for foot pain. The doctor gave him a bone marrow examination. He died several hours later at the age of 48. People who knew him said, “This guy was a very bad man, and he deserved to die.”

Huang Xiaolan, in her forties, is the former chief of the Lanshan County Domestic Security Division. She closely followed the Jiang regime and actively persecuted practitioners since July 20, 1999. On October 27, 2005, she was seriously injured in a car accident. She suffered seven broken ribs, cervical spine fractures, a fractured pelvic bone, and lower body split bleeding. Even though she survived, she became permanently disabled. The day after the accident, Lanshan County released her from the position of chief. Her career was finished. Her family life is in crisis.
