Authorities in Henan Province Again Issue Secret Orders to Intensify Persecution

The supervision team sent to Zhoukou City by persecutors from Henan Province's "610 Office" has stayed in Huaiyang County for a long time. These people are in charge of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners within organisations at various levels in Zhoukou City. In order to intensify their so-called "supervision" of Falun Gong practitioners, they also collected information on practitioners they believed were firm in practising Falun Gong and reported them to high level authorities.

Members of the supervision team colluded with people from the local "610 Offices" and police departments in various places in their persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Not long ago, over a dozen Dafa practitioners were arrested and many others were forced to leave home. In addition, these persecutors tore down many truth-clarifying banners and posters put up either in the city or in the countryside. Dafa practitioners put up new ones in some places, but in others, the supervision team assigned people to keep an eye on streets and guard utility poles day and night, for fear that Dafa practitioners would put up new truth-clarifying materials.

Recently, more secret orders for the persecution of Dafa practitioners were forwarded to various levels of government in Zhoukou City. They still follow the previous method of transmission: officials at higher level directly read the fax order, then destroy it and pass it on verbally.
