In March 2003, police officers and the director of the Xinjiang Street Police Station in the Jianhua District of Qiqihar City ransacked the houses of Falun Dafa practitioners who still remained determined, and extorted money from them. They also claimed that they could beat Falun Dafa practitioners to death without taking any responsibility. (They could not beat criminal offenders but they could beat Falun Dafa practitioners.)
