Personnel at the Erdaopeng Brainwashing Centre in the Jianghan District of Wuhan City used violent means to brainwash detained practitioners.

Jianghan District practitioner Ms. Liu Yuejing, over 60, was arrested by Jianghan District 610 Office1 personnel numerous times. In October 2007, she was distributing informational materials that explained the truth about Falun Gong when the police arrested her and took her to Erdaopeng Brainwashing Centre. She was inhumanly tortured. She was forced to stand during the daytime inside a circle drawn with a piece chalk. Outside the circle were slogans that slandered Falun Gong. The guards pasted slanderous notes on her clothes and beat her if she removed them. She wasn't allowed to sleep at night. The guards once broke Ms. Liu's finger when she tried to take down the slanderous slogans. She almost fainted from the pain, but the guards still didn't release her. The torture was unbearable. After returning home, her finger continued to hurt for almost six months.

On the morning of August 25th, 2008, Ms. Liu was near the Erdaopeng Brainwashing Centre when she was seen by a spy from the brainwashing centre. She was arrested and taken to the centre. Not long ago, her husband went to see her during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday season (September 14th, 2008). The guards refused to let them see each other unless Ms. Liu wrote a guarantee statement to give up practising Falun Gong. They even refused to give her the apples he brought, and they said many slanderous things about Ms. Liu.

Practitioner Ms. Ye Xiaofen was sentenced to forced labour for over a year. After she completed her term, she was taken directly from Hewan Forced Labour Camp to Erdaopeng Brainwashing Centre by Jianghan District 610 Office personnel. She was forced to attend brainwashing sessions and deprived of sleep, and she was pressured to "transform2," to write the guarantee statements, and to give up her belief in Truth-Compassion-Forbearance.

There is another practitioner, Mr. Zhang Zhen, in Erdaopeng Brainwashing Center. He is currently suffering from the same persecution.
