  • Agents from the National Security Bureau Use Deceitful Techniques to Recruit Dafa Practitioners as Spies

    Four years ago, agents from the National Security Bureau attempted to deceive me into cooperating with them. I firmly refused. I realised that my arrest and persecution were actually traps that they had prepared, to influence me to work with them. Agents from the National Security Bureau often choose Dafa practitioners with higher education degrees as their targets. If practitioners know a bit of computer technology, speak a foreign language, have relatives in other countries or have been abroad, they will be special targets. The purpose of the agents' activities is to damage Dafa from within, and to damage practitioners worldwide. What they do is tap telephones and monitor people by following them.
  • Ways That Benxi Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners, Both Physically and Mentally

    When the authorities realised that their attacks and verbal abuses of Dafa and the propaganda for the Communist Party had no effect on practitioners, they tricked their family members into coming to the camp and used them to try to influence the practitioners. The husbands, wives, children, parents, brothers, or sisters of the practitioner came to the camp and wept, complaining about their being abandoned by the practitioners. Sometimes the managers of the practitioner's company or his friends came and said that practitioners were being selfish, caring about only their own cultivation and not about their families. Who exactly broke up numerous families and caused family members to be separated or die? Was it not caused by the Party's persecution of these good people, who adhere to the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance?"
