1. [Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province] "610 Office" Is Plotting to Open a Brainwashing Session
Recently, the Mudanjiang 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] has been plotting a brainwashing session for a new round of persecution against Dafa practitioners. This session also extends to the neighboring counties. Since the local Dafa practitioners have been clarifying the truth of Dafa to people, the units who have received the notice from the "610 Office" are reluctant to act. It is hard for the evil Jiang's regime to keep the persecution going.
On September 17, 2003, five Dafa practitioners from Zhangjiakou city delivered truth-clarifying flyers at Taipusi Qi (an administrative level), Xi Meng, Inner Mongolia but were reported to the authorities. Four of them were arrested and detained at the Taipusi Qi Detention Center. Details are not yet known.
On September 16, 2003, local officers illegally forced 20 Dafa practitioners from Bai Qi into brainwashing sessions. Each of them is isolated in a separate room to be brainwashed. Now they are going on a hunger strike and are force-fed by police officers. Details are currently unknown.
The Panjin City public Security Bureau is planning a large-scale arrest of Dafa practitioners. How the persecution will be executed is not known. There have been around 20 Dafa practitioners sent to the Fushun Brainwashing Session.

Ever since the first Dafa practitioners were detained here, they have been overloaded with hard labor. On extreme days, Dafa practitioners were forced to work 20 hours a day. Right now they are forced to work at least 11 hours a day. A task is assigned to everyone with no regard for their age. If the task is not done, then they are forced to work extra hours. To conceal the extra work hours, the lights in the corridors are turned off. Over 1/3 of the Dafa practitioners illegally detained here are over 50 years old. The oldest is 68 years old.

However, the head of the Qi County Public Security Bureau offered to bribe the camp to accept Wang Xiyun. Now Wang is being detained at the Shibalihe Labor Camp with a one-year term.
