(Clearwisdom.net) On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party began to persecute Falun Gong. Since that day, Falun Gong practitioners have encountered the reality of being illegally arrested, put into forced labor camps, sentenced to jail, and tortured. Besides physical suffering, the Chinese Communist Party is widely using another form of persecution: Economic persecution. This has brought disaster to practitioners and their families.
Mengyin County, Shandong Province, is nationally infamous for the amount of poverty within its borders. The 610 Office, local police station, and other government bureaus have seized massive amounts of wealth in the name of persecuting Falun Gong. This is how they usually operate: Arrest the practitioners and ransack their homes. Grab everything of value, including personal property and belongings, even the chickens, rabbits, dogs, and bags of grain. Put the practitioners into a brainwashing center, the local police station, or detention center. They force family members to hand over huge amounts of money by taking advantage of their fear that their loved ones will suffer. If the penalty is not paid, they may keep the practitioner in detention, torture him, or send him to a forced labor camp or prison. Some practitioners have even died in police custody. The authorities don't give receipts for the paid penalty, not even an IOU. All the money goes into their own pockets. The following lists Jiuzhai Government entities and how much they have illegally extorted from practitioners.
