In Dehui, Jilin Province, Police Are Trying to Frame Practitioners for a Theft

Jan. 6, 2005

(Clearwisdom.net) Many pieces of equipment on a section of the Dehui City Railway in Dehui City, Jilin Province, were recently stolen. While Dehui City police were investigating the local residents for the theft, they spread unfounded rumors that it was Falun Gong practitioners who had stolen these parts. One of the households to whom the local police spread the rumor to was a relative of a local practitioner. The entire family knows the truth about Falun Gong. When the lady of the household heard the police's unfounded rumor, she advised them, "You should not frame Falun Gong practitioners for the theft. They speak and act based on Falun Gong's cultivation principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. They only do good deeds. It is impossible that they would steal from others." Nevertheless, they discovered that the local police continued to spread the rumor to other local households while they were "investigating" the theft. They also left a business card with each visited household and offered a big reward for anyone who could supply information that would solve the crime.

This is not the first or only unfounded rumor that the Chinese police have spread since Jiang Zemin started to persecute Falun Gong.

In their citywide hunt for practitioners involved in the heroic act of interrupting the TV signal to broadcast truth-clarification video programs over the Changchun City Cable TV network on March 5, 2002, the Changchun City police arrested over 5,000 practitioners in Changchun City alone. Because the Changchun City police had dispatched 6,000 police officers to arrest Falun Gong practitioners, no one was left to maintain the safety of the city. Combined with the rapidly climbing crime rate, the frequency of arson in Changchun City skyrocketed in March 2002. The police even created a vicious rumor that it was practitioners who committed these crimes.

On November 20, 2004, practitioners interrupted the TV signal to broadcast Falun Gong's truth-clarification video program "Braving the Storm and Traveling Around the World" over Beijing Cable TV. As the result, many people in China watched the program and learned the truth about Falun Gong. Jiang Zemin and his henchmen were terrified that the truth about Falun Gong was revealed. It is alleged that the Chinese Communist government has sent out spies all over China, trying to reinforce its terrorism against practitioners. Meanwhile, Dehui police are creating slanderous rumor about Falun Gong to smear its reputation.

Prior to the theft, many public security bureau directors in all major counties and areas of Changchun City were relocated. The Director of the Dehui City Public Security Bureau was transferred to Yushu City, Jilin Province. The Director of the NongAn County Public Security Bureau, Mr. Zhang Guochen, was transferred to Dehui. The Deputy Head of the Chaoyang Branch of the Changchun City Public Security Bureau is now the Director of the NongAn County Public Security Bureau.
