The Chinese Communist Party Squanders Taxpayer Money to Persecute Falun Gong
2007-04-24
In order to persecute Falun Gong, the Chinese Communist government uses its dictatorial power and taxpayers' money to set up huge organisations with large amounts of manpower, materials and financial resources. These organisations monitor the telephone calls of Falun Gong practitioners and place their movements under surveillance. They oversee the brainwashing of imprisoned practitioners. The so-called "Legal Centres" have been in existence since 2001, in order to try to force practitioners to give up their beliefs. In Zhaoqing City, the government provides three thousand yuan to the facility as a brainwashing fee for persecuting each Falun Gong practitioner. The practitioner's employer is required to provide three thousand yuan plus the staff's salary, about ten thousand yuan each month. -

2007-04-21Guard Zhang Bo brings to Qianjin the persecution methods used in the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp.

They also force Dafa practitioners to slander Teacher and Dafa under oath. If a practitioner does not swear an oath or her voice is too low, the guards will try to force her to do so loudly.
