Ms. Xie is now missing. During the past years, her relatives had no contact with her due to the persecution. It is suspected that she was arrested.
Mr. Jiang Persecuted
Ms. Xie's husband, Mr. Jiang Zonglin, was formerly the director of Mingyuan Architecture Research Institute in Chengdu City, Sichuan.
He was held in prison for five years. When he was released on October 15, 2012, officers from the Jinniu District 610 Office transferred him from the prison directly to the Xinjin Brainwashing Center.
Ms. Xie and her daughter visited the brainwashing center to request his release on December 22, 2012. Yin Shunyao, head of the brainwashing center, arrested them. They were then subjected to brainwashing.
Renouncing and Denouncing Falun Gong
Ms. Xie was worried about her daughter, which gave guard Wang Xiuqin the opportunity to put pressure on her to write a statement renouncing Falun Gong. She was told that she could see her daughter once she had renounced the practice. However the persecutors told her repeatedly that she had not fulfilled all requirements and therefore could not see her daughter.
Wang forced her to transcribe materials that defamed Falun Gong and made her sign a statement renouncing Falun Gong on January 15, 2013. She was then forced to become involved in "transforming" her daughter.
Ms. Xie was interrogated in early March 2013 by six people, including Wu Wei from the Jinniu District 610 Office. She was forced to reveal the names of other practitioners. She was finally released after several months of detention.
