"610 Office" in Jilin City, Jilin Province Holds Meeting to Discuss Secret Plan for Large Scale Arrests of Dafa Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa Information Center reported on May 22, 2002: Latest news from
Jilin Province indicates that the "610 Office" (an agency
specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each
level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary
systems) in Jilin City held an urgent meeting to discuss plans for
conducting another round of control and persecution against Falun Gong
practitioners. This time the actions are secretly administered through the Party
system, with the orders coming from the top and passed down to the Party
leadership teams at all levels. According to news from insiders, another new round of large-scale arrests
began on May 18, 2002 in Jilin City. It was the Party secretary of each village
neighborhood committee who led the search team personally. When a journalist
called the "610 Office" of Jilin City about this action, they
answered, "We have strict rules about the Falun Gong issue; I cannot speak
to you on the phone." Ever since Changchun Cable TV broadcast Falun Gong truth clarifying videos on
March 5, large-scale arrests of Falun Gong practitioners have occurred in many
big cities. None of these arrests followed legal procedures. Recently, the U.S.
Committee for Investigation of Persecution of Religion in China and the Free
China Movement published a secret document of the ruling Party in China, which
instructed the police to arrest Falun Gong practitioners at will, without legal
procedures. This document, issued jointly by the Police Department and the High
Court of Jilin Province, said, "Once a Falun Gong practitioner is found,
arrest him, then make up the legal procedures."
