(Clearwisdom.net) Since July 20, 1999, when the persecution of Falun Gong started, many faculty, staff and student practitioners at Northeast Normal University and its affiliated secondary school have been persecuted. When Jiang Zemin ordered the suppression of Falun Gong in 1999, he said to: "damage their reputations, cut them off financially, and destroy their physical bodies." For new students, if they refuse to renounce Falun Dafa, they are not allowed to start school, whether they are graduate or undergraduate students. For those graduating students, if they continue to practice, the university will not help them get a job.
Faculty members as well as students are forced to write "guarantee statements." The school authorities conduct illegal searches of students' dormitories, expel students, dismiss staff/faculty, impose fines, and drive students out of residence halls. The school authorities even cooperate with the police department to send practitioners to forced labor camps, detention centers, and brainwashing centers. All of these forms of persecution inflict pain and difficulty on practitioners and their families.
So far, one practitioner has died as a result of the persecution, and many have been sent to forced labor camps, lost their jobs or been expelled from school. Over 30 practitioners have been detained. The following is a partial account.

During his detention, he endured all kinds of tortures and was seriously injured. At one point Mr. Bai was sent to a hospital run by the police department. On February 12, 2002, he was released from the forced labor camp a full 7 months after his term officially ended, and subsequently forced to undergo brainwashing at Changchun City Xinglong Mountain Brainwashing Center. Later on, he was illegally jailed at Changchun No.3 Detention Center for one month. Because he refused to renounce the practice, in April 2002 he was sent to a forced labor camp for the second time in three years and jailed in Changchun City Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp's No. 4 Brigade. Mr. Bai Xiaojun had scabies all over his body as a result of the abuses. However, the inmates (directed by the police) poured salt water on his body.
