Xi'an City Brainwashing Centre Detains Elderly Practitioners

The Xi'an 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) had set up a brainwashing centre in the worker sanatorium located on the southern suburbs of the city. The brainwashing centre was secretly moved to Xuanping Garden in the northern suburbs of Xi'an after the New Year and Li Liang was appointed as the director. The move was done secretly in order to prevent the public from learning what was happening there. The new sign in front of the brainwashing centre says "Shaanxi Province ( Xi'an City) Legal Education Base."

The brainwashing centre is situated in a courtyard constructed in a way that is commonly found in the countryside. The gate is usually shut, and warning signs are posted on it. Under the direction of the Xi'an 610 Office and Li Liang, Falun Gong practitioners who end up here suffer brutal persecution. At the time of this article, seven practitioners are being detained there. Two of them are nearly 80 years old.

Ms. Wang Qiuxian is 77 years old, and she is a retired worker from Shaanxi No. 4 National Cotton Factory. On March 2nd, 2010, five officials broke into her home and took her to the brainwashing centre.

Ms. Liu Jing is 79 years old, and she is a retired head physician from Xidian Group Hospital. On the morning of March 26th, seven officials broke into her home and dragged her down the stairs from the fourth floor to the ground floor. They covered her head with a black bag and pushed her into a police car. Then, they took her to the brainwashing centre for further abuse.
