(Clearwisdom.net) [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 compassionateáreminder 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.]

Since July 20, 1999, the terrorist "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems; 610 refers to June 10, 1999, when this office was set up] and the Police Department No. 1 Division in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province have kept committing crimes. The No. 1 Division, which has a list of all Falun Dafa practitioners in the city, keeps instructing its subordinate police departments, police stations, and neighborhood administration offices to persecute Dafa practitioners. Over the past three years, they illegally detained and sent Dafa practitioners to forced labor camps over a thousand times. Most Dafa practitioners were detained two or three times, while some were detained as many as five to six times.

Some Dafa practitioners were sent to forced labor camps. After they came out of the labor camps through hunger strikes, the vicious police, when seeing that their health conditions had recovered from hunger strike, would again arrest and take them away from their homes. Some practitioners were sent back to labor camps as many as three to four times. Moreover, the wicked police also frequently sent someone to watch the practitioners or go to their homes to harass them. As result, the practitioners' family members are unable to work, go to school, live, or rest normally. Many practitioners' families were broken apart and the practitioners were compelled to be destitute and homeless [in order to avoid being illegally arrested at home]. Some were forced to stay away from home for a long time. It is often heard that some practitioners were arrested, their homes ransacked, their savings, television sets, radio and tape recorders, computers, etc. were taken away. Almost every Dafa practitioner was extorted out of 2,000 to 5,000 Yuan [The average monthly income is about 500 Yuan in cities of China] as "bail." The practitioners' family members are unable to work normally, and have to withstand the resulting economic and social pressures and endure the mental pressure. Now there is a saying that is being circulated among people: "In the past, the bandits were in the remote mountains. Now, the bandits are in the police department."

The following are some of the persecution cases of Dafa practitioners:

1. Dafa practitioner Ma Changyou from No. 3544 Military Factory was arrested and sent to Baoding City Gaoyang Detention Center in Hebei Province for almost two years. He has endured all means of tortures and is still detained there.
2. One Dafa practitioner from Shanhaiguan area of Qinhuangdao City was on the verge of death after release from the Tangshan City Kaiping Forced Labor Camp. The police did not send the practitioner to the hospital for emergency treatment, and instead, left the practitioner alone in the room of a factory. When the police returned later, the practitioner had already died.
3. Dafa practitioner Wu Xingfei was severely wounded from beating after he was arrested. He was illegally given a severe sentence. It is unknown where he is detained. Now nobody is taking care of his children who have no sources of income.
4. Dafa practitioner Zhao Ruilan (female) from No. 3544 Military Factory was abducted from her home. Her home was ransacked. She is now detained in the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp. Two years before she was arrested, her husband was sent to a forced labor camp. So on top of her daughter missing dad's care, her daughter has also lost mom's care.
5. At the end of June, Dafa practitioner Wang Weiguo from Qinhuangdao City Hualian Shopping Center, while still working at his work unit, was taken away and sent to Shanhaiguan Xiaowan brainwashing class for further persecution.
6. The Kaiping Forced Labor Camp tortured Dafa practitioner Fu Weiping and made him handicapped. Now Fu still cannot walk.
7. The Kaiping Forced Labor Camp tortured Zhang Zhibin and Zhu Yourong from Qinglong County of Qinhuangdao City to death.
8. When the "610 Office" and the police first went to Dafa practitioner Ren Jianguo's home to arrest him, Ren's neighbors stopped them. Several days later, the vicious police drove to Ren's hometown in the countryside of Tangshan City, took Ren away with force, and then sent him to a brainwashing class.
9. Not long after Dafa practitioner Wang Yurong was released from the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp, Wang was arrested at home and brought to Xiaowan brainwashing class for further persecution.
10. On June 27, Qinglong County Tutingzi Township head Li Shuzhong, the police station chief Pan Zhongliang, and the deputy chief Song Zhihua went to Dafa practitioner Song Guixian's home. They kicked the door open and took Song Guixian away to the county detention center. The next day, Song Guixian was sent to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp. Last year, the county police department used the accusation of the so-called "assembly" and detained Song Guixian for over 2 months. Song went on a hunger strike for 76 days and experienced all kinds of tortures.

In July this year, when the head of the evils came to Baidaihe [a beach resort area], Qinhuangdao City 610 Office and the police department urgently deployed the police force and aggravated the persecution against Dafa practitioners. They interrogated and searched the passersby and the passing vehicles. The Xiaowan brainwashing class was re-opened. Many Dafa practitioners were abducted and sent to the class for brainwashing.

It is a heavenly principle that the good will be rewarded with good and the evil will be met with evil.

1. Tian Chuan, the anti-violence team leader in Qinhuangdao City, suddenly died of a peculiar disease when he was only a little over 30 years of age.
2. Wen Dehai from Haigang District Police Department was struck to death by a vehicle while he returned from escorting Dafa practitioners to Shanhaiguan Detention Center.
3. On the very evening when one vicious policeman from Qinhuangdao City Daonan Police Station tortured Dafa practitioners, his parents died of poisoning by gas.
