High School Student Held Hostage by CCP Officials in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province

Aug. 14, 2008

(Clearwisdom.net) It has been reported that Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Haohong from Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province escaped from the brainwashing center where she had been held captive for more than nine months. Local CCP officials were alarmed and in return took Wang Haohong's son, who is studying in high school, as a hostage. Family members are worried about the safety of the child. More details follow:

Ms Wang Haohong, 41 years old, is from Majia Village, Sha Gully, Zhangxin Township, Zhaoyuan City. Ms Wang had suffered from many illnesses since she was young and had sought many medical treatments, but all turned out to be in vain. Her mother cried a lot because of this, and Wang Haohong herself also suffered greatly because of her illnesses and would rather die than live. After she started to practice Falun Dafa, all the illnesses she had were miraculously cured. It was Dafa that saved her life and brought happiness and peace to her family.

On July 20, 1999, the wicked Chinese Communist Party launched its brutal persecution of Falun Dafa and its practitioners. Like tens of thousands of other Dafa disciples, Wang Haohong suffered brutal persecution just because of upholding her belief in Falun Dafa and living her life according to the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Wang Haohong was continuously harassed, arrested, detained and tortured by CCP officials. She was not able to return to her own home for the past 8 years.

On September 11, 2007, Wang Haohong was arrested by the Nanxinzhuang Local Police Station in Jinan City, and was detained for about a month at the Public Security Bureau in eastern Jinin. Wang Haohong went on hunger strike to protest. On October 7, Wang Haohong was sent to the so-called "Legal System Education and Training Center" (translation: brainwashing center) in Zhaoyuan City and was been detained there for more than 9 months.

The "Legal System Education and Training Center" in Zhaoyuan City is in fact a brainwashing center that persecutes Falun Dafa practitioners. It is located at a deserted building at Lingnan Goldmine, Taishang Village, Linglong Township. Since July 2007, there have been about 60 Falun Gong practitioners sent to this dark den for persecution. Wang Haohong had symptoms of serious diabetes after being tortured. Her family had repeatedly made requests to take her home but were denied.

Ms. Yang Keyun is another practitioner who has been detained and tortured at the same brainwashing center for more than five months. Ms Yang has a disabled son at home who is unattended. She was tortured and almost collapsed mentally. Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Shuwen and 70-year-old Ms Wang Xiuhua were also arrested and sent to this brainwashing center recently and suffered a great deal physically and mentally.
