On the night of May 29th, 2012, the Jilin Police Department had a joint action to harass and arrest numerous Falun Gong practitioners. According to the information provided by the insiders, the Jilin Provincial Committee and the Politics and Law Committee intended to persecute Falun Gong practitioners in the name of protecting the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Eighteenth Conference.
Persecution loses the support of the population
On the night of May 29th, at about 6 p.m., policemen went in groups to practitioners' homes to harass them.
Falun Gong practitioners talked to the policemen face to face about Falun Gong again and told them not to help the CCP. In an elderly Jilin practitioner's home, two policemen asked him if he still practised Falun Gong. The practitioner said he would pass away if he did not keep practising Falun Gong; such a good practice teaches people to be good persons--why not practise? The police did not have any answer. The practitioner continued to advise the police not to persecute good people. He said that when the CCP collapses in the future, their accomplices will be subjected to justice. The police quietly listened to him and then left after saying thanks to the practitioner.
On the night of February 29th, the same scene was played in many Falun Gong practitioners' homes. After learaning the truth, many policemen told the practitioners that they were just following orders from the upper authorities in order to guarantee that “the 18th conference would proceed smoothly”.They said that day was the first day of the action; the action would last more than one month; that the upper authorities had issued orders to “arrest a group of people, to destroy a group of Falun Gong materials production sites and to find a group of people who work for the New Tang Dynasty TV Station”. They were going to arrest those practitioners who had become homeless if possible, check those whose whereabouts were not clear and check those who had sent messages through mobile phones. And they would also search the mobile phone shield network which is used to prevent tapping, etc.
