Evidence of Persecution in Brainwashing Classes in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province

July 21, 2002

(Clearwisdom.Net) Jiang's regime uses all kinds of means to persecute innocent Dafa practitioners. In addition to jail sentences and forced labor camp stays, they also use brainwashing classes. They arbitrarily extend practitioners' terms in the forced labor camps if the practitioners refuse to renounce their beliefs. Even those who were released after serving their full terms in the labor camps are forced to attend the classes.

Brainwashing class authorities in Guangzhou City were networking and sharing experiences on how to effectively brainwash practitioners. The techniques used at the Huangpu brainwashing class consist of beating, hair pulling, torturing and forcing people to constantly bow for a long time. They sometimes put a bucket of water on to a practitioner's back. If the practitioner moves slightly, the water bucket would overturn, resulting of beatings and cursing. The class organizers would grab practitioners' hair and spin them around. Right after that, they pushed and kicked the practitioners heavily, forcing the practitioners to slam into a wall or against the edge of a table. Practitioners were injured so badly that blood was all over their bodies. Slapping on the face and mouth and kicking were commonplace.

Baiyun brainwashing class personnel also used psychological torture. Twice a day they forced practitioners to "study" their propaganda books and view their slanderous video programs, which defamed Teacher and Dafa. If a practitioner praised Dafa and clarified the truth, the organizers would attack him or her constantly, day after day, which greatly damaged the practitioners' minds. The most painful suffering was the torture of the mental interference. They disturbed practitioners' normal thinking and forcefully brainwashed them.

The brainwashing class organized by the city government was just as bad. Practitioners were forced to stay alone. They are not allowed to talk to each other. Class organizers would harass practitioners anytime day or night. They took turns to carry out brainwashing around the clock, trying to exhaust the practitioners mentally. The classes at the other places were similar in nature. They all had their own vicious methods. For example, they locked Dafa practitioners in dark rooms and attacked them with a group of thugs.

No matter what they do, it could not change practitioners' firm determination. As an old saying goes, "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil." This universal truth applies to all human beings. Today, everyone is choosing his or her own future.
