(Minghui.org) The Beijing 610 Office and Police launched their latest round of gangster-style abductions on July 18, 2013. The public, however, is no longer fooled by the regime and becoming increasingly disgusted by their unlawful treatment of practitioners.

Beijing police officers from Yanqing County, Haidian District, Changping District, Shijingshan District and Fengtai District participated in this latest assault. Data compiled by Minghui confirms that 24 practitioners were arrested on July 18 alone.

This police action was ordered to take place before July 20, and all the illegally arrested practitioners are currently under “criminal detention.” The police will bring additional charges against practitioners with a prior arrest record.

According to sources, Beijing authorities informed residential management offices and local police stations about a monetary reward between 5,000 to 50,000 yuan for anyone reporting on Falun Gong practitioners’ passing out truth clarification materials.

Police also unlawfully closed Shi Yingji’s computer supply store. Shi Yingji and Fan Jirong had been subjected to persecution previously. When Fan Jirong was detained at Beijing Labor Camp's Hospital, he was diagnosed with high blood pressure, and this condition did not improve upon his release.
