[Changchun City, Jilin Province] The "610 Office"* Detains Falun Dafa Practitioners with Advanced Degrees at Brainwashing Class
Recently, practitioners returning from the Changchun Brainwashing Class said that the practitioners detained there are intellectuals with at least four-year undergraduate degrees. They were detained in separated rooms. A so-called "talk" occurred every few minutes in an attempt to brainwash them. Each time, different people "talked" with practitioners, who were not allowed to rest or sleep.
According to an inside source, people from the Public Security Department came to Jilin City in an attempt to hold a brainwashing class that targets steadfast practitioners whose names are on the lists of their neighborhood police substation, district government, or municipal government. The plan is that about a thousand practitioners will be illegally detained at the brainwashing class that continues until the end of December.
* "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
[Kaifeng City, Henan Province] Practitioner Pan Jiaquan Illegally Detained in Forced Labor Camp a Second Time
Mr. Pan Jiaquan is in his fifties. He is from the south suburban area of Kaifeng City. In the second half of 2000, he was illegally sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp for going to Beijing to validate Falun Dafa. During detention, he was subjected to carrying heavy, large bags at the Phosphate Fertilizer Plant. About half a month after he was released from the labor camp this year, the Nanjiao Police Substation illegally detained him again for half a month. Then, within a day of returning from the police substation, policemen went to his home and asked whether he would keep practicing Falun Gong. They also attempted to coerce him to write a so-called "guarantee statement."* In this case, Pan Jiaquan was once again illegally detained. His family does not know his whereabouts.
A month later, Pan's daughter went to the police substation to inquire about her father's situation. Five thugs hired by the police beat her up. After the beating, she was asked to write a statement of self-criticism for asking the police about her father's whereabouts. Without any legal procedures and for no reason, Pan Jiaquan was again sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor. It is not known where he is being detained.
* "Guarantee Statement" is a statement to declare that he or she is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioners.

Recently, the Local Party Committee and government, the "610 Office," and the Public Security Bureau in Xiuwen County secretly planned a local brainwashing class. They plan to single out several dozen practitioners from each working unit. The official document has now been issued to each working unit. It starts from the educational system.
