On the afternoon of October 26, two large buses filled with Dafa practitioners were driven from the Douge Village Detention Center in Cangping County to the Detention Center at Yanqin County. On the buses, the police forced every Dafa practitioner to pay 30 yuan for bus fare. Some practitioners felt that they should not pay this money and refused. The police then forced other practitioners to pay extra.

After arriving at the Yanqin Detention Center, the police let those who paid the money off the buses, and kept those who didn't pay the fare on the buses. Some practitioners enlightened to the fact that the money should not be paid. Why follow the arrangement of the demons? So, those who did not pay also got off the buses. A female practitioner who did not pay, was taken to the interrogation room by the police and slapped on her face 7 to 8 times. Later, the police wrote numbers on the back of practitioners using white chalk. One practitioner firmly refused to let the police write a number on her back. Next, the police ordered practitioners to stand facing a wall. Practitioners refused to cooperate. The police then used electric batons to beat practitioners one by one. Some practitioners' hearts were very righteous and thought: we are Dafa practitioners and should not be restrained by ordinary people's electricity. As a result, their bodies didn't show any marks from the beatings.

Next, the police interrogated practitioners, mainly asking names and places of origin. During the interrogation process, many practitioners were beaten with electric batons. The electric batons were newly acquired weapons, and had not been used on other prisonersonly on Dafa practitioners. During this period, the Teacher gave some practitioners several opportunities to leave. Some practitioners left; some did not realize that they could look for opportunities to leave; there are also some practitioners who had the attachment of fear and thus wasted these opportunities.

At about 7 p.m. on the evening of 26th, the police produced arrest warrants and asked practitioners to sign them. Many practitioners were enlightened to the fact that they had not committed any crimes and that the police had no reason to detain them, and thus refused to sign. Afterwards, the police sent us to prison cells after confiscating our money and belongings. On the surface, they said that they took these for registration. In reality, they kept the money themselves. Since there were no bedding or blankets in the cells, about 10 of us huddled together to sleep. We decided to "treat suffering as pleasure", and did not buy any blankets.

There were 12 Dafa practitioners in our cell, and we started a hunger strike to protest the illegal imprisonment and demand an unconditional release. In the beginning, we felt that Dafa practitioners "without any energy channels or acupuncture points", should "advance together, and ascend together", and should refuse to cooperate with the police. When the police came to drag anyone away, we would link our arms together and recite with one voice Teacher's new articles Suffocating the Evil, No Existence, or Mighty Virtues.

On the afternoon of the 28th, a few police suddenly entered our cell, and started dragging practitioners out ferociously without explaining why. They did not answer when we asked them why they were taking us out of the cell. So we refused to cooperate. They, then kicked and beat practitioners. We learned later that the reason they used such massive force was to measure our blood pressure. After returning to the cell, we looked inward and felt that although the police behaved badly, we could also use this opportunity to find our insufficiencies. We realized that we had let the mentalities of competition and resistance, as well as the fear mentality take over, and sometimes were not perfectly harmonious. After we identified our own drawbacks, the energy field became much more peaceful.

Six people from our cell were released one after another; some were taken to local detention centers and some were released because of their abnormal blood pressure. On the afternoon of the 29th, the police ordered another practitioner and me to go to the clinic. Inside the clinic there were a few police and about 10 regular prisoners. They ordered us to eat, but we refused. About 10 of them forced one woman onto a chair, bound her with ropes, and forcefully put a food pipe into her stomach. Later, other practitioners were all force-fed through plastic tubes. The police laughed loudly when they saw the suffering expressions of practitioners upon being force-fed with plastic tubes. Some police even said, "pigs are force-fed just like this". During this process, they used the same dirty pliers to open the mouths of different people, and slapped practitioners' faces. They also put burning cigarettes close to practitioners' mouths, and threatened to use electric batons or put us into seclusion. They used the same food pipe on everyone without sterilizing it (later, they sterilized the food pipe between uses). Some police said, "Even if the food pipes were contaminated with human waste, they would be forced into you as usual". When the police ordered other prisoners to forcefully drag practitioners out of cells, Wang Baoting was the most ruthless; kicking practitioners using his feet and slapping practitioners' faces.

Using these methods, they forced food into us every day. " In regards to the effects of thought karma, the damage that the evil forces have created for us, and explaining the truth to people, we are all actively eliminating the demons instead of condoning or passively enduring." We enlightened to the fact that we should not passively accept the things that were happening. So we decided to use actions to indicate that we would not hesitate to sacrifice our lives in order to safeguard Dafa. On the morning of November 1, every time they tried to drag a practitioner away for force-feeding, we would gather against a wall. In Eliminate Your Last Attachments the Teacher said: "If a cultivator can let go of the thought of life and death under any circumstances, the evil is bound to be afraid of him. If every practitioner is able to do this, evil will of itself no longer exist". In the end, the evil finally became afraid. At about 10 am on the same day, the 6 of us were released unconditionally. "The Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities." Some regular prisoners wanted to learn Dafa, and some police were also shocked. This is the power of Dafa!

Based on what I know, the Yanqin Detention Center is still illegally holding about 200 Dafa practitioners when we were released. The following is a partial list of names of the evil police and their evil activities at theYanqin Detention Center:
