• The 110 Emergency Hotline Is Used as a Tool to Persecute Falun Gong

  2003-11-19
  After the police abducted one Dafa practitioner, the practitioner witnessed this scene: A 110 staff member's mobile phone rang suddenly and they realised that they were being notified of an emergency to which they would have to respond. The person in charge said, "Turn off the mobile phones and pagers, and do not let them know where we are. Arresting an escaped criminal is not the same as arresting a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Gong practitioners do not fight back when they are beaten or sworn at, and we can arrest them any time. However, it could be life-threatening to have to arrest an escaped criminal. What if something should happen to us?"

• Two Shandong Province Women Practitioners Unjustly Sentenced to 4 Years Imprisonment

  2003-11-03

  2003-11-01

However, some local police departments have not sent anyone to take the practitioners back. Therefore, Labour Camps are arbitrarily keeping practitioners and not releasing them.

• Practitioners Tortured in "Intensive Reform" Building at Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp

One incentive used by Jiang Zemin's regime is to reward police officers with 1000 Yuan for each practitioner they "reform." Under such instigation, some police officers exhibit heartless and inhuman behaviour.
