Then they sent her to the Hefei City Women Labor Camp. The labor camp did not accept her because of her blindness.
Around midnight on August 21st, 2001, Wang Huaijing and Xu Hong again ransacked Ms. Bo’s home, and sent her husband to a brainwashing class in Huainan City. Ms. Bo and her fifth daughter were separately detained at the Huainan City Panji District Police Station. On the third day after the arrest, Ms. Bo was sent to a brainwashing class because Ms. Bo refused to give up Falun Gong. Since the brainwashing class used mental torture, and did not allow Ms. Bo to sleep if she didn’t give up Falun Gong. Ms. Bo was forced to write a so-called “transformation statement”. The second day after her release she immediately wrote a solemn declaration that the “transformation statement” was invalid. This both exposed and shocked the police. They tried to arrest her again, so she had to leave home. All alone with nowhere to go, Ms. Bo, a blind elderly lady, is now on the streets.
