"610 Office" in Shaanxi Province Secretly Imprisons Falun Gong Practitioners in a Brainwashing Class and Extorts Money from Them

(Clearwisdom.net)

The "610 Office" (An agency specifically created to persecuteáFalun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems) in Shaanxi Province secretly imprisons Falun Gong practitioners in a brainwashing class and forcibly extorts money from them.

To the Falun Gong practitioners who were steadfast in their belief, the scoundrels at the "610 Office" clamored, "We will abduct you to the brainwashing class by force if necessary."

The practitioners who were abducted were forced to pay 3,650 Yuan for "tuition" (500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China). The brainwashing class lasted two and half months. The "610 Office" often intimidated and threatened Falun Gong practitioners with "transform or go to labor camp" (meaning to send practitioners to labor camps if they don't give up their practice of Falun Gong).

The brainwashing classes are located mainly in Changan County, Xi'an City; but other cities in Shaanxi Province also have them. It is said that there is a secret brainwashing class in Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province. Falun Gong practitioners are being transferred from other cities throughout the nation, and persecuted illegally there. Because of the tight information blockade, specifics are unavailable.

Dafa practitioner Song Yijian (alias) was abducted to the brainwashing class again after he got out of the labor camp using right thoughts. He didn't cooperate with the evil, and eventually was released.

Since July, torrential rain has been pouring down relentlessly in Shaanxi, causing the Wei river to flood and the embankment to burst in many places. The damage reached hundreds of millions of Yuan and there have been numerous casualties. Heaven is warning the people, and sternly giving notice to Shaanxi's "610 Office" to stop their evil acts before it is too late.
