(Clearwisdom.net) The 610 Office is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the party and all other political and judiciary systems. The many brainwashing centers it has created all over China are publicly called “Legal Education Schools,” and they specialize in torturing Falun Dafa practitioners.

From June 1 to September 15, 2011, the Jilin City (a prefecture including Jilin City downtown, counties, county level cities, towns and townships) 610 Office helped local domestic security agents and police arrest 37 practitioners and take them to brainwashing centers. Their homes were also ransacked.

II. Facts about the Persecution in the Brainwashing Centers

Those who work in the brainwashing centers fall into one of three groups: Jilin City 610 Office and CCP Political & Judiciary Committee system employees; collaborators who once were practitioners, but betrayed Dafa under intense pressure; and community administrators, social workers, and low income persons who serve as “monitors.”

Practitioners are not allowed to contact anyone. Two “assistants” accompany each practitioner, even when he or she uses the restroom. These assistants take turns, rotating once every two to three days. When practitioners first enter, the assistants pretend to care. They chat with practitioners in a friendly way, and then the collaborators begin brainwashing. They take turns from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and curse, threaten, deceive, and mentally torture practitioners. They force practitioners to watch slanderous videos, and the mental torture is beyond description.

Practitioners are forced to sit on a stool or stand for a long time, are deprived of sleep, and are forced to write five statements (similar to the three statements). They are ordered to write a letter of repentance; a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong; a list of names and addresses of all family members, friends, and acquaintances who are practitioners; a statement to disassociate themselves from Falun Gong; and a statement of their determination to accept the brainwashing. The centers prepared drafts of these five statements and ordered practitioners to write something similar, or the brainwashing would continue. They would have to guarantee never to access the Internet or retract their five statements, which would fundamentally be devastating to any practitioner.
