Community office director Guo Chunjie from Shenyang City has been brought to justice
Guo Chunjie was the Shengli Street Community Office Director in Heping District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. He actively participated in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners from 2000 to 2004.

He also demanded 100,000 yuan in cash from real estate developers, and under the name of prize money, he distributed 200,000 yuan of unrecorded, public funds to the leadership members of his organization; 20,000 yuan went to himself.

Editors' Note: In both Western and Chinese culture, the principle of karmic retribution, that is, being held ultimately accountable for one's own actions, is widely accepted. The fundamental teaching of Falun Gong is the characteristic of the universe, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The universe will reward actions that are in harmony with this principle, while actions such as beating, torturing and murdering people will incur karmic retribution. Stated another way, good deeds will be rewarded with good, while evildoings will meet due retribution. Articles such as this one are meant as a compassionate reminder of this principle to those who would commit wrongdoing. While many of those who persecute Falun Gong are merely "following orders," the universal law requires that they, too, be held responsible for their actions, and that only by reversing their course of wrongdoing may they escape retribution.
