(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Yu Yang was the target of harassment and persecution recently. The Ministry of Public Security assembled hundreds of personnel, vehicles and plainclothes police posing as electronic merchants and shoppers. They employed high tech communication equipment to track and monitor the activities of Falun Dafa practitioners over a long period of time. An internal source reported that tens of thousands of yuan were spent monitoring Yu Yang for over four months.

During this period, all the people who had any contact with Yu Yang, including his relatives and friends, were followed, watched, intimidated, threatened with extortion, and even arrested. His aunt, cousin, and other relatives (non-practitioners) were kidnapped and harassed. His mother's telephone was tapped and she was tailed. Yu Yang's clothing shop at Wuai Supermarket was interfered with so frequently that he could not conduct normal business.

The practitioners arrested as a result are: Wang Wechuang, Yu Jingquan, Chen Rongjun, Dong Mei, and Dong, etc. After brutal torture, the police sent them to the notorious Zhangshi brainwashing center in Shenyang City.

According to a person from the Liaoning Province Police Department, this particular case of persecution was conducted under the supervision of the officials from the Ministry of Public Security, who were stationed in Shenyang specifically to persecute Falun Gong Practitioners. From the widespread use of social resources, the degree of the persecution, the use of high tech equipment and other despicable means used, we can gauge that the persecution must be assisted by the security division at least at a provisional level.
