(Clearwisdom.net) Agents with the 610 Office in Panzhihua City recently convened a secret meeting to plot the persecution and mass arrests of blacklisted Falun Gong practitioners during the Olympics and the Party's 17th National Congress. These special agents and their cohorts, as well as the police, are tracking and monitoring what they consider to be "key" practitioners. The detained practitioners are being fined from 200 to several thousand yuan.
In Miyi County, the Party agents also formed a so-called Centralized Administration Leading Group. County Deputy Party Secretary Zhu Bin serves as group leader. Politics and Law Committee Secretary Wang Yongxiang and police chief Li Guohong serve as deputy leaders. They convened a meeting of government and business leaders and coerced them into continuing to follow the Party in committing foul deeds against Falun Gong practitioners by linking their political performance with the way they persecute people. Furthermore, they encourage people who are ignorant of the truth about the persecution to report practitioners. To succeed, they have promised the participants rewards of from 200 to one thousand yuan. They are also hiring people (mainly retired military personnel) from the general public to expand their evil institution. Trained by special agents, these individuals are used to deal with the practitioners.
The following are facts of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in Panzhihua and Miyi:
