Jilin Province Police Arrest Practitioners, Ransack Their Homes
2012-11-06
Over the course of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)13-year persecution Falun Gong practitioners, the Jilin 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) and Public Security Bureau, under the command of the Political and Legal Committee, have adopted the most despicable means to persecute practitioners. They have used undercover police officers to follow practitioners, ambush them, and break into their houses. The police have arrested practitioners and extorted money from them. Robbing practitioners of their property has become their official duty. Police have also freely ransacked practitioners' houses, taken away their belongings and damaged their property, acting like bandits. -
