Zhang pries out the financial status of arrested practitioners, and threatens to send them to labour camps. In his original words: "I can send a person to hell (meaning 'sending to a labour camp') or to heaven (meaning 'not sending to a labour camp.')" By doing this, Zhang and his accomplices have illegally extorted over 350,000 Yuan from practitioners and families via bonds, fines, confiscations, etc. In a county like Tongnan that is known for its poverty, Zhang uses persecuting Falun Gong to help obtain promotions and make a fortune out of it.

• How Many More Families Like Ours Are Being Persecuted?

  2004-01-12
  My family then paid the money to the labour camp in exchange for my mum's release. However, the labour camp officials didn't release my mother as they promised.

  2004-01-05
  Shocking facts: As of December 2003, at least 24 Dafa practitioners whose names can be verified through civil channels were tortured to death in Daqing City.
