According to internal information, Guangzhou Baiyun Mental Rehabilitation Center is a charity organization under the Guangzhou City government. Between 2000 and 2001, under the direct control of the 610 Office and the Security Bureau of Guangzhou City, Guangzhou Shahe Detention Center and Baiyun Mental Rehabilitation Center cooperated to torture hundreds illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners.
The head of rehabilitation center was ZHANG Dezhi originally came from Huangzhou, Hubei Province. He subcontracted the area of "unchecked flow of population" inside the rehabilitation center that was used to torture Falun Gong practitioners.
On May 4, 2001, ZHANG said to Falun Gong practitioners, "We kill people like we kill ants in this hospital. We have a mortuary here and nobody has ever investigated who went in there. I issue death certificates, and nobody will ever find out the real cause of the death."
On May 2, 2001, more than ten female practitioners were transferred from Shahe Detention Center to Baiyun Mental Rehabilitation Center. Because they refused to disclose their names, they were brutally beaten by a group of male drug addicts as ordered by ZHANG.
The drug addicts divided themselves into groups, with three male drug addicts beating one female practitioner with thick iron batons. They beat them with all their might until the practitioners lost consciousness.
The practitioners were so violently battered that they were covered with bruises and open wounds. A sixty-year-old female practitioner and a twenty-year-old female practitioner lay on the ground unconscious, their faces swollen and bruised. The perpetrators left the scene without turning back.
