Jiang's Regime Escalates the Persecution during the Spring Festival

According to information received, the "610" office [a governmental agency specifically set up to oversee the persecution of Falun Dafa, with absolute power over every level of authority in China] commanded the police to tightly control all Falun Dafa practitioners at all costs during the Spring Festival. They utilized all government departments and even the common people to follow and monitor Falun Dafa practitioners. They also used special agents to infiltrate Falun Dafa practitioners' meetings. In an effort to find and arrest the practitioners who have been forced into homelessness and to find the website and truth-clarifying material centres, the police examined many rental apartments and interrogated the moving population [rural people who leave their home for cities to make a living]. To prevent Falun Dafa practitioners from coming to Beijing, they intercepted them at bus and train stations, regardless of any reasons the practitioners gave for coming to Beijing. The police tightly monitored all of the overseas Falun Dafa practitioners who came back to China during the Spring Festival. They interrogated practitioners, and confiscated any truth-clarifying materials they found, along with computers, and printers. They put the practitioners in prisons and forced labour camps, in solitary confinement, and used the Internet to hunt down practitioners who have become destitute and homeless. They also assigned people on streets and inside buildings to watch for and arrest any practitioners who clarified the truth about Falun Dafa.
