23. [Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province] Supplementary Data on the Persecution of Zhu Xiangguo

On January 23, 2001 I was sent to Shuangcheng Detention Center, where Zhu Xiangguo was held. I was held there for one month, and I witnessed the persecution of Zhu Xiangguo.

According to Zhu Xiangguo, he went to Beijing to validate Dafa during the 2001 Chinese New Year. He was arrested in Tiananmen Square. Because he refused to give his name and address, the police poured buckets of cold water on him and kicked his abdomen with their boots. They beat him so savagely that his shirt was stuck to his back with his own blood.

During his incarceration at the Shuangcheng Detention Center, the perpetrators from the Shuangcheng City 610 Office ordered his family to persuade him to give up Dafa. His brother beat and kicked him; his wife, sister-in-law and child knelt on the floor and begged him, but Zhu Xiangguo remained steadfast.

Later he was sent to the Qiulin Company Brainwashing Class in Shuangcheng City and held there for several months. Soon after his release, he went to Beijing again to validate Dafa and was again sent to a detention center.
