[Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] "610 Office" Arrests Falun Dafa Practitioners and Detains Them in the Brainwashing Class
Recently, the Jinzhou City "610 Office" [a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration in the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches] arrested more than ten Dafa practitioners and sent them to three sessions of brainwashing class. We only know the names of the following practitioners who have been arrested: Wang Ying (female), Wang Lifeng (female), Ma Zhimin, Liu Zhonglin, and Zhou Hua (female). Three elderly practitioners near the age of 70 were also sent to the brainwashing class.
On the morning of July 15, Zhou Hua was arrested at home by the police hiding there and sent to the brainwashing class. Because she remained determined in not cooperating with the evil, she was sent to the city's No. 1 Detention Center on the same day.
Li Shufen (female) was arrested and sent to the brainwashing class, but she firmly resisted the evil persecution. Facing this imminent test of life and death, she displayed her righteousness and clarified the truth to her captors, moving some of them to tears at one point. She refused the evil brainwashing and walked out of the brainwashing class with righteous thoughts. She is currently forced to go from place to place to avoid further persecution.
On July 15, Dafa practitioner Zhang Hong (female) was visited by the "610 Office" at home. She refused to open the door, so the "610 Office" called in the riot police. Some armed policemen then broke down the door. Zhang Hong jumped out of the window in an attempt to escape and was injured. It's unknown whether Zhang Hong is still alive in police custody. We hope that all practitioners who read this news can send forth righteous thoughts to help her break away from this dangerous situation.
We hope that Dafa practitioners in Jinzhou City will completely deny the evil persecution. Let's continuously purify our righteous thoughts, keep sending forth righteous thoughts, and from other dimensions eliminate the evil behind the "610 Office" and the brainwashing classes.
The leaders of Jinzhou City's "610 Office" are Li Xiejiang and Liu Zhanlu.

They force Dafa practitioners to recite documents issued by Ministry of Public Security, the Civil Administration Ministry, and other state agencies.
