The authorities from Kaifeng City, Henan Province abducted over twenty retired professors, (all Falun Gong practitioners) took them to the Yuxiang Hotel, monitored them twenty four hours a day and tried to force them to give up their beliefs. They seized the elderly professors' monthly income (two to three thousand Yuan) and spent it on salary and lodging for the brainwashing staff. Because these professors were very determined to uphold their belief in Dafa, the corrupt officials could find no excuse to continue persecuting them in this manner. They had to release the professors and close the brainwashing class in February 2003.
