• Running Brainwashing Classes - A Way to Make Money for the Party in Fujian Province

  2004-01-04

• Charles Li Suffered Intensified Brainwashing Just Prior to the Meeting of Wen and Bush

  2003-12-15
  One specialist on China pointed out that forcing someone to give up their faith is the same as asking them to give up their conscience and their human dignity. Brainwashing is an inhuman mental torture, causing the victim worse pain and long-term effects than physical torture. Brainwashing is unacceptable to western democratic governments, legal systems and society. The specialist also noted that the Chinese Communist Party is very focused on spiritual control. The persecution of Falun Dafa by Jiang has reinforced this dark side of Chinese society. In fact, cruel torture is routinely used to effect spiritual control, and it has been used to force Falun Dafa practitioners give up their faith and their freedom to practise the exercises.

• Jiang Zemin's Regime Resorts to Brutal Means in Its Attempt to Brainwash Charles Li

  2003-12-12
  Experts on China issues have pointed out that forcing a person to give up his belief is the same as forcing him to give up his conscience and give up the dignity of being human. Forced brainwashing is annihilative, psychological persecution; the pain and aftermath is usually more cruel than physical torture. The Jiang regime likes to use psychological manipulation, while Jiang Zemin's persecution of Falun Gong has intensified and magnified this dark aspect. In fact, physical tortures are also used for psychological manipulation, and the goal is to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief and right to practice.

They told me that signing this paper would help to get me back home.

• A "Transformed" Practitioner's Words Do Not Represent Her True Heart

  2003-10-30
  She has had few opportunities to contact the outside world. Family members have to strongly insist to be allowed to visit her, and were allowed to talk with her only under the presence of police. Bombarded with propaganda in an isolated environment over a long period of time and forcefully brainwashed constantly, it is difficult to retain one's ability to judge issues with rationality. This is a vivid example of the psychological control and persecution by Jiang's regime against Falun Dafa.
