(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Guo Lirong, a former electrical engineer from the Qianfeng Electronics Corporation Ltd., was persecuted in the Xinjin Brainwashing Center. The first day she was admitted, a staff member kicked her in the head with his shoes on, causing her to lose consciousness and vomit blood. After she was held there for more than 20 days, on November 21, 2012, Ms. Guo was released. She was physically and mentally devastated. She was dragged out of the car and left alone on the road outside of her residential community.

Due to the severe abuse, Ms. Guo could not stand up, so she had to sit in the road. She rolled up her pant legs to show passersby the injuries sustained at the brainwashing center. A kind-hearted person found the hotline of a local newspaper and offered his cell phone for Ms. Guo to call and expose the local police officers' wrong deeds. But no one from the newspaper came after they heard that Ms. Guo wanted to expose the arrest and illegal detention of a law abiding citizen by Fuqing Road Neighborhood officials, local police and the Chengdu City Law Education Center. The pictures below were taken by a kind-hearted person for Ms. Guo.

The persecution at Xinjin Brainwashing Center left Ms. Guo Lirong physically and mentally devastated

“Having a Talk” Ends up with Ms. Guo Being Taken to a Brainwashing Center

As soon as Ms. Guo Lirong left home around 2:00 p.m. on October 30, 2012, a group of people led by Xie Weijiang, an auxiliary police officer from Fuqing Road Neighborhood Office who had waited outside her home, immediately stopped her, saying that their director, Wang, from the Fuqing Road Judicial Office would come right away to “talk” to Ms. Guo. Ms. Guo then invited them to her home.

Several minutes later, Wang and several others came to Ms. Guo's home and Wang told her that the 18^th Party Congress would be held soon, and neighborhood officials had asked him to “talk” to her. He also asked Ms. Guo to go to the police station because officials there also wanted to talk to her. Ms. Guo refused to go, and said that it was unreasonable to target her for the purpose of maintaining stability for the Party Congress. These perpetrators then carried Ms. Guo into a car, and took her to the Fuqing Road Police Station.

While at the police station, Fuqing Road Neighborhood Office head Chen asked Ms. Guo to get in a car to go to “study” (actually this means illegal detention and undergoing forcible brainwashing). Ms. Guo demanded he present legal documents and refused to get in the car.

After being locked in stalemate for quite some time, the officers forcibly carried Ms. Guo into a police car. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yin Sirong was already in the car. They took the two practitioners to the Xinjin Brainwashing Center.

Being Ruthlessly Kicked in the Head, Ms. Guo Loses Consciousness and Vomits Blood

Upon arriving at the brainwashing center, Ms. Guo refused to get out of the car, and demanded they show her legal documents. Four auxiliary police officers dragged Ms. Guo out of the car and carried her with each holding one of Ms. Guo's legs and arms, walking toward the brainwashing center.

At that moment, brainwashing center staff member Huang Zhongzhi slandered Falun Gong founder Master Li Hongzhi. Ms. Guo asked him to stop. Huang was furious and ran to kick Ms. Guo hard with his shoes. Enraged, he still didn't feel it was enough, so he ruthlessly kicked Ms. Guo in the head. Because Ms. Guo was being carried by police officers facing upwards, this kick caused the back of her head to hit the ground really hard, and she immediately lost consciousness. Her face and lower lip swelled, and she vomited blood. They carried her to a room on the second floor, threw her onto a bed and left.

Force-Fed Unknown Substances

Ms. Guo Lirong started a hunger strike to protest this illegal detention. Four people force-fed her a raw egg twice, and also laced her food with unknown substances which made Ms. Guo drowsy and her mind go numb daily.

After Ms. Guo was illegally held in the brainwashing center, personnel from the Fuqing Road Neighborhood Office, Police Station and Xinjin Brainwashing Center did not inform her family of her whereabouts. Not until noontime the next day, did Ms. Guo's family receive a phone call from the security office of Qianfeng Corporation Ltd., telling them that local police had sent Ms. Guo to “study,” and she would return home in mid November. Later, Ms. Guo's 85-year-old father went to the police station to find officer Li Xia to inquire about his daughter's whereabouts. He then learned that she was in the Xinjin Brainwashing Center.

Left on the Roadside

In mid November, at the end of the 18^th Party Congress, Ms. Guo's family once again called the Qianfeng Corporation Ltd. to ask when she would return home. They were told they had no idea, and would ask their supervisors. Ms. Guo's family received a call from the security office on the afternoon of November 19, telling them that Ms. Guo would return home on November 21.

On the afternoon of November 21, neighborhood officials and local police sent Ms. Guo home in a car. Ms. Guo refused to get out of the car, and demanded an explanation for the 23 days of illegal detention. Physically and mentally devastated, Ms. Guo asked them to take responsibility for their crimes and compensate her for her financial losses.

At this moment, Ms. Guo's father, husband and younger sister also arrived, and demanded an explanation of which law Ms. Guo had violated, and why they had arbitrarily arrested and detained an innocent person. Police officer Li Xia said that the neighborhood officials had asked them to do so, and told the family to take Ms. Guo home. The police drove out of Ms. Guo's residential community to take two other Falun Gong practitioners, Ms. Yin Sirong and Ms. Yang Shuhua, who were also released on the same day, home. After that, they dragged Ms. Guo out of the car and left her on the road outside of her residential community.
