4. [Daqing, Heilongjiang Province] Daqing Brainwashing Center Colludes with Jiulong Property Branch to Persecute Ms. Cheng Qiaoyun

Dafa practitioner Ms. Cheng Qiaoyun was dismissed by the Daqing Enterprises Group Jiulong Property Branch, after the state enterprise paid her a lump sum in compensation, based on the number of years she worked. She no longer receives welfare benefits from the government. She has been illegally detained in the Harbin Women's Jail for two years. When her prison term expired, the jail refused to release her because she did not give up practicing Falun Gong. On May 27, 2004, Harbin Women's Jail colluded with the Daqing "610 Office" (1), and her former workplace to send her to a brainwashing center. Afterwards, Jiulong Property Branch held a meeting for the various subordinates, and compelled every unit to monitor Dafa practitioners. They also asked the non-practitioner personnel who were sent by each unit to monitor Cheng Qiaoyun, "Is Falun Gong good or not?" If the person answered "not sure," this person was sent back and exchanged for another guardian. It is reported that Jiulong Property Branch punishes these withdrawn personnel.
