Ms. Wang Mingrong and Others Tortured to Death in Xinjin Brainwashing Center

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Mingrong from Chengdu City was arrested and taken to the Xinjin Brainwashing Center around September 7, 2011. (To disguise its true function from the outside world, the brainwashing center is officially called the “Chengdu City Law Education Center.”) Ms. Wang died from severe physical abuse and mistreatment around September 17, less than ten days after being incarcerated. According to a witness, she was subjected to beatings and her body was covered in bruises.

The authorities of the Xinjin Brainwashing Center tried to cover up information regarding her death, and the fact that they continue to incarcerate other Falun Gong practitioners in the center. After Ms. Wang Mingrong was tortured to death, several more practitioners have been detained.

Ms. Wang Mingrong, 53, lived at 6 Shuyue Road, Pulosiwang Neighborhood, Chadianzi community, the Jinniu District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. Ms. Wang was head nurse at the Chengdu City Kangfu Hospital. She was well-known because of her work ethic, but was fired from her job in 2001 because she practiced Falun Gong. Around September 7, 2011, officers from the Jinquan Street Affairs Office, Jinquan Police Station, and 610 Office agents in the Jinniu District arrested her and took her to the Xinjin Brainwashing Center. According to an insider, Ms. Wang went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. As a result, she was force-fed and violently beaten.

Jinniu District 610 Office agents exerted great pressure on Ms. Wang's family so that they would not reveal any detailed information about her death. Most of Ms. Wang's friends have yet to hear about her death. Even her neighbor was scared to talk about her death.

The 610 Office system was established on June 10, 1999 as an organization that does not answer to the law, its power being above all levels of government, including law enforcement and the court system. It was illegally established to persecute innocent Falun Gong practitioners, and it tries to force practitioners to accept communist brainwashing, so that they will stop practicing Falun Gong. The brainwashing centers are called “Legal Education Schools,” or “Legal Education Centers,” but they are in fact extra-judicial prisons.

On the afternoon of September 23, 2011, Mr. Lan Qidi was arrested by agents from the Shahebao 610 Office in Jinjiang District when he was distributing materials explaining the facts about Falun Gong around a gas station in Wuguiqiao bus station. He was detained and abused in the Xinjin Brainwashing Center that same day.

On the morning of October 9, 2011, Xinjin County 610 Office agents arrested elderly practitioner Ms. Pan Tingying, and took her directly to Xinjin Brainwashing center.

On October 10, 2011, agents from the Qinglong Community 610 Office and Bailian Community Administration workers arrested Ms. Chen Guozhen at her home, and forcibly took her to the Xinjin Brainwashing center.

According to incomplete statistics, since its establishment in 2003, more than 1,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been held in the Xinjin Brainwashing Center, where they have been subjected to physical torture and mental torment. They have been injected with drugs that damage the central nervous system, and their food and drinking water are often laced with unknown substances,causing them great harm. Due to the severe abuse and pressure, many have suffered from nervous breakdowns, developed mental impairment, become physically disabled, and developed various illnesses. Some have even died as a result of brutal persecution. Practitioners who died in the Xinjin brainwashing center include Ms. Deng Shufen, Ms. Li Xiaowen, Mr. Xie Deqing, and Ms. Liu Shenglu. The practitioners who suffered a mental collapse as a result of persecution include Ms. Zhu Xia, Ms. Liu Ying and Ms. Tan Shaolan.

Mr. Xie Deqing was a retired engineer of Chengdu City Mine Detection Institute. He was arrested on April 29, 2009, and taken to the Xinjin Brainwashing Center immediately. He died within 30 days of being taken there. He told his family with great emotion, about how the brainwashing center's authorities took him to the hospital, supposedly for physical exams. He was instead injected with many unknown drugs, after which he could not eat or drink for almost two weeks. His entire body turned black when he passed away.
