12. [Beijing] Fengtai District Persecutors Continue to Run Brainwashing Classes to Torment Practitioners

Personnel from the Fengtai District's "610 Office" keep running brainwashing classes to persecute practitioners. The location of the class is in the Guangfeng Hotel. Chiefly responsible person is Bao Kun from the "610 Office." People from other "610 Offices" in community offices and some collaborators also took part in these brainwashing classes. Those from community offices are only responsible for monitoring practitioners, while those from "610 Offices" and collaborators are responsible for brainwashing practitioners with their twisted logic and slanderous CCP-made videos.

According to a local media report, "610 Office" agent Bao Kun's mother used to practice Falun Gong. So Bao Kun first persecuted his mother and forced her to give up Falun Gong. Bao Kun has done everything he can to persecute practitioners for the past few years for the sake of promotions. According to his own estimates, he personally made 150 practitioners give up Falun Gong. Nevertheless, he did not completely trust those who broke away from Falun Gong. That is why he paid each of the collaborators 30 to 40 yuan every day as bonus, to ensure that the collaborators work for the persecutors, to keep the classes running. In addition, the brainwashing classes could keep the collaborators from returning to Falun Dafa.

Bao Kun and others in the class are scared of facing their future. They have access to the Clearwisdom website. They are afraid of Internet exposure.
