Evil Policemen in Shandong Province Persecute Falun Dafa Practitioners in Order to Extort Money

(Clearwisdom.net)
Since the end of June 2001, the Police Departments in Shandong Province
(especially in Jinan City) have illegally monitored and arrested Falun Dafa
practitioners under the pretext of all kinds of unwarranted reasons. They
persecute practitioners at will without any lawful procedures, in accordance
with President Jiang Zemin's order [in June of 1999, Jiang Zemin outlined a
national program to persecute Falun Dafa]. Many practitioners have been sent
directly to labor camps, where all have subsequently been sentenced to three
years of forced labor. The police have applied many different means in
persecuting Falun Dafa, including detaining practitioners, "education and
rehabilitation through labor," "brainwashing," and sending
practitioners to mental hospitals. Regardless of the methods they employ, their
sole purpose is to illegally apply all kinds of vicious and cruel means to force
the practitioners to give up their belief in "Truthfulness, Benevolence and
Forbearance." In spite of the fact that it is
becoming more and more known that many evil policemen have experienced
retribution for their role in persecuting Falun Dafa, and such facts have awed
the evil forces effectively, there are still some wicked ones who dare to test
the "Fa" [law and principles] and who continue to put
themselves at risk. What motivates them to behave in such an evil way and to do
whatever they like?
Those evil policemen consider Falun Dafa practitioners and their families as
people who are easily bullied. The true purpose for so many arrests is to extort
money from the practitioners and from the companies they work for. Evil
policemen arrest and persecute Falun Dafa practitioners so they can secretly
make money for themselves and get bonuses from their superiors. Through their
evil actions, they benefit in terms of both fame and wealth.
In order to collect as much money as possible, individual policemen
essentially establish their own despotic system whereby they manipulate those
former practitioners who have been successfully brainwashed and
"enlightened" along an evil path. They instruct these former
practitioners to deceive the steadfast practitioners, to lead them to also
"enlighten" along an evil path and to make them fall. For every
practitioner who falls, the police collect 3,000 Yuan RMB as a
"transforming" fee from their family [Note: 500 Yuan equals
approximately one month's salary for an average urban worker]. Those
practitioners who remain determined in practicing Falun Dafa are beaten badly
and tortured cruelly. The main purpose of such treatment is to continue amassing
money by receiving bribes from the practitioners and their families. Due to the
brutal methods employed, many practitioners' families can't endure their
relatives being tortured and are forced to give the policemen money and goods
after being hinted that they should pay for releasing their relatives (most of
them have to give about 10,000 Yuan to all of the different levels of officials
who are in charge.) Even after this, the evil policemen still do not release the
practitioners and force them to write a so-called "guarantee letter" [not
to practice Falun Dafa.] They then force a practitioner's family to send
10,000 Yuan or more as a so-called "guarantee fee" before they release
him. After a while, the police will go to the practitioners' homes again and
threaten and disturb them and their families. Therefore many practitioners
become destitute and homeless.
According to inside information, in July alone there have been more than 100
practitioners who have been illegally arrested and taken to the Shandong No. 1
Labor Camp located in Jiangshuiquan, Jinan City. All the subdivisions in Jinan
City have set up brainwashing classes, and have detained
practitioners and forced them to pay exorbitant fees of around 20,000 Yuan. Many
practitioners remain in detention, where they are enduring different degrees of
persecution and oppression.
Based on reliable sources, a brainwashing center has been set up
near the Liuchangshan Labor Camp in Jinan City. There are plans to arrest groups
of practitioners for brainwashing before the Chinese National Day.
Practitioners who continue their belief in Falun Dafa will be sent to the labor
camp.
Many businesses in Jinan City are suffering from economic depression. Many
jobless workers are struggling at the poverty line. Jiang and his accomplices
are taking ordinary working people's hard-earned money to feed this group of
wicked beings, inciting them to persist in their evil deeds and bully the kind
people. All of the crimes of these evil policemen will be exposed. |
