Local "610" Office Head Shamelessly Boasts of Corruption and Sadistic Deeds

Since June, the corrupt officials in my area have been preparing for a new wave of persecution against Dafa practitioners by order of the "610" Office. They threatened that it is time to treat Falun Gong, now that SARS is gone. They arrested Dafa practitioners, sabotaged Dafa sites for information materials, and set up brainwashing centres.

Recently, a talk from a small head of the city "610" office has utterly exposed their dark minds. This person is a political guard at a public security bureau. Since he is instructed to monitor and control Falun Gong practitioners, he has tirelessly participated in the persecution. He arrested, spied on, and jailed Dafa practitioners. He has also extorted money from practitioners and their families, run brainwashing sessions, forced practitioners to write "Three Statements"[Yet, this person has not been remorseful. In one recent brainwashing session, he ferociously and viciously attacked Dafa shouting: "I tell you, that this crackdown is still on. You are not allowed to practise Falun Gong, even at home. As long as you are found to have Dafa books or materials in your home, you will be arrested, and sent to forced labour for at least two years. If you are suspected, your home will be ransacked. I tell you, the communists are capable of torturing people. Nobody can match this capability in the world."

"Think about it, which movement has not tortured people? Right now, some people in society appeal for salary, for subsistence. If they appeal too much, they will be arrested under the accusation that he or she is a trouble-making Falun Gong practitioner. Nobody dares to speak in his favour. For real Falun Gong practitioners, however they are treated, nobody dares say to anything because it is their superior who gives the order."

"Some people say the police are no good. I admit that. I have heard more than what you know. Some say that the police are hooligans with licenses, that they are just like the mafia. Without badges, they are like bandits. But right now, who is not corrupt? The higher the position is, the more corrupt it is. And it is exactly these people that are able to torture you Falun Gong practitioners".

"Let's get back. The brainwashing session has been run for several times. We don't want to do it anymore. It is so hot. How nice it would be if we could find a cool place to sleep. But no way, this cannot happen. The higher ups demand that the centre be set up. In other words, this is dictated from above, and money has been allocated for the center to continue. For every headcount, it is given 1000 Yuan []. It is not allowed if you do not spend some money. Only some discounts are made. It is stipulated that the session must last for 10 to 20 days, for every period. We run it for 10 days. They require us to carry the class for the entire day, and we do it for a little more than half a day."

"If no one is writing the "Three Statements", this session will come to a dead end. We will be forced to sentence you to a labor camp. Recently our "610 Office" [] had a meeting. Our director said that a new method is being studied: For all those who insist on practising, their salaries will be transferred to "610" offices at all levels. If they agree to write the "Three Statements", their salaries will be paid. Otherwise, they will not receive any salary. A retired official in our city insists on practising. Therefore, he was fired, his salary was cut off, and he was put into forced-labour. His old spouse was persecuted to death and he is nearly 70-years-old. Yet, he will not be paid a penny."

This scoundrel boasted without reservation, exposing the vicious corruption and sadistic deeds in such a shameless way. This reminds me of something said by a middle-level official: "There is a way to see the nature of this sort of people. That is to observe who lectures on the "Three Representations" more often []; who claims more proudly, "this is the best period of Chinese human rights"; who sings the praises of converting Falun Gong practitioners more actively. The more one does this, the more he has done evil."
