(Clearwisdom.net) The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) offers monetary rewards to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Without offering these rewards the CCP would not be able to do this. A lot of money has been spent to build forced labor camps and prisons and to pay criminals to persecute practitioners.

According to the Lu Zhong Morning News in Shandong Province, the Zibo City Security Bureau and the Zibo Police Department jointly announced the following: "During the National Day period, rewards will be given to those who report criminal activities to the authorities." In particular, they stated: "Those who provide information about Falun Gong activities may be rewarded up to 2000 yuan."

For a long time the CCP has placed great emphasis on persecuting Falun Gong. One of its basic approaches is cutting off practitioners' financial support. In addition, government agencies are evaluated based on how they deal with practitioners. In general, the CCP does not want everyday people to know about this, and payments are made only to its loyal supporters. The announcement made by the police department in Zibo City is actually a rare case, but it reflects the general CCP policy.

In many cases, local police officers don't have much work to do and they don't have other sources of income. Providing a reward allows the officers an opportunity to make more money. They can also extort more money from the family members of practitioners.

For practitioners inside labor camps, the CCP provides rewards of 10,000 to 30,000 yuan to guards who are successful in persuading practitioners to give up their practice. Not only that, if the guards fail, they are fined. That is why the guards focus primarily on persecuting Dafa practitioners and are willing to pay criminals to help them get the reward money.

A guard at a Heilongjiang women's prison broke the rib of an incarcerated practitioner and ordered criminal inmate Wang Fengcui to torture her. The practitioner's hands were cuffed and her legs were tied together. Wang hit her feet with a bamboo club until they were swollen. Then Wang jabbed a needle into her feet to make as many punctures as possible. Wang said to her, "I have nothing against you personally. I am doing this as a job because they pay me 200 yuan every day." The criminal inmates are willing to torture practitioners because they get paid to do it..

It is truly sad. Many people don't understand why police officers and criminals torture practitioners. The truth is they are being paid by the CCP to do it.
