(Clearwisdom.net) Zhao Lintao, the Deputy Chief of the Niushikou Police Station in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province bribed the neighbors of Falun Gong practitioners. He paid each of them 300 Yuan (approximately one month's salary for an average worker in China) every month, asking them to follow and monitor practitioners. They hoped that by doing this, they could find out the sources of the Falun Gong truth-clarifying literature in their city, and practitioners' conference sites so that they could do more damage.
From November 2000, Niushikou Police Station and the Southeastern Police Station persuaded the Niushikou Community Office and the Retiree Office of Chengdu Seamless Tube Factory to withhold practitioners' pension and force them to write guarantee statements (written statements in which practitioners pledge to give up Falun Gong). If the practitioners refused to write the statements, they would not get their pension. If they wrote one statement, they would be paid 1/3 of their salaries, two statements, 2/3 of their salaries. If they wrote all of the statements, they would be paid the whole salary.
The practitioners went to reason things out with them. The law entitles people the freedom of belief. Practitioners pointed out that by doing this, they (people at the Retiree Office and the police station) were ignoring the law, and behaving illegally. Only then did the Retiree Office agree to issue partial payments to cover living expenses.
In order not to be caught before July 20th and put in the brainwashing class, some practitioners had to leave their homes. The local police station colluded with the community office and stopped paying these practitioners' pensions.
It is reported that the Southeastern Police Station which is close to the Niushikou Police Station colluded with Chendu Seamless Tube Plant and has stopped paying the salaries of those practitioners who refused to cooperate with the brainwashing class held on July 20th.
In addition, without going through any legal procedure, Zhang Lin and Liao Jing from the Niushikou Police Station often unexpectedly barged into practitioners' homes. They forcibly made arrests, confiscated the families' property, and pronounced the practitioners "guilty." This kind of illegal activity had caused extremely bad influences among people.
Before this, Niushikou Police Station used widespread methods to intimidate and deceive the families of those practitioners who were made destitute and homeless. They fooled the family members into telling them the whereabouts of the practitioners, and also compelled them to sign for the practitioners on the pre-written, so-called "guarantee statement." The police officers deeds were disgusting to the families of practitioners. As a result, the families better understood the nature of the villains.
Here, we advise the villains who have persecuted practitioners, their families and other people - what you are doing does not differentiate good from evil, right from wrong and harms both yourselves and others.
