[China] The Dictator's Last Day Fear: The Curfew During The Party's Sixteenth Convention

With the approaching of the Communist Party's Sixteenth Congregation, dictator Jiang and his political gang are extremely fearful. They are afraid that Falun Dafa practitioners will go to Beijing to appeal as well as clarify the truth in other areas. Therefore they have ordered curfews not only in Beijing but also in other areas during this period. At night, the police would stop all vehicles and pedestrians for identification and would detain anyone without an ID card or any Falun Gong practitioner. We also heard that they said that this was a special period and that they would rather wrongfully arrest one hundred practitioners than let one escape.

[Changchun, Jilin Province] Watch Out for the Trap of Evil People

Recently, various work units and the local police stations in Changchun investigated all the Falun Dafa practitioners.
