More about the Recent Arrests and Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Laiyang, Shandong Province
2008-07-17Officers from the police station in Muyudian Township, Laiyang City have a reputation for unreservedly extorting money from people. In the last few years they have made a fortune confiscating personal belongings from the families of Falun Gong practitioners. It is thought that the police have resorted to doing this because most people now know the truth about the goodness of Falun Gong, and are no longer willing to report practitioners to the authorities. The police have resorted to monitoring, following, harassing, and confiscating the property of practitioners. After arresting the practitioners, the family members are coerced into submitting at least 4000 yuan in fines, for which no receipts are provided. Otherwise the practitioners will be sent to forced labour camps. -
