Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Liang Xueseng works at the Xinchengzi District Court of Shenyang City. On April 18, 2005, deceived by Kang Rongdong, Director of the Political Department, and other high level officials, Mr. Liang went to the newly established Zhangshi Brainwashing Center thinking he was sent there for a meeting. Instead, he was detained at the brainwashing center. They tried to force him to renounce his belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." He has been asked to write a guarantee statement. The brainwashing center collects a daily fee of 200 yuan for detaining people. The Xinchengzi District Court had previously paid the brainwashing center 3000 yuan in advance to support the persecution of Mr. Liang.

10. [Jinzhou City, Hebei Province] Mr. Ma Hengkui Arrested and Sent to A Brainwashing Center Again

Mr. Ma Hengkui, 34 years old, is a villager from Beiwangjiazhuang Village, Zhoujiazhuang Township, Jinzhou City, Hebei Province. He has a warm personality and was always happy to help others. All his neighbors considered him a good person. Because he practices Falun Gong, the police beat him so cruelly that he had to be carried home. His family and friends were also implicated, and his family members were detained as well. In order to avoid further persecution, he left home for two years. Later, the police guaranteed in writing that he could come home without any trouble from them. They also promised that he could get a job in a factory in town. When Mr. Ma returned home, however, the police did not give him a job or let him work in the village. As a result, Mr. Ma had to go to another township and work for one of his relatives.

On April 7, 2005, when Mr. Ma was working in his relative's factory, a group of policemen rushed in, handcuffed him and took him away without giving any reason. After he was arrested, his six-month pregnant wife was left at home alone.

Later, he was sent to the Shijiazhuang City Brainwashing Center with fellow practitioner Chen Kairu. Each practitioner's family was forced to pay 3,000 yuan. A local ruffian, Di Binyong, has been seeking information about Falun Gong practitioners from Mr. Ma.
