The above are only some facts of the persecution of Falun Dafa and Dafa practitioners over the past several years by Qiaodong District Political and Judiciary Committee, Qiaodong District Police Department, the district local police station and community office and Qiaodong District Legal System School. Their common means of persecution are: repeated imprisonment, arresting and detaining practitioners, imposing large fines and searching practitioners' homes. This is the genocidal policy the Jiang regime has implemented against Falun Gong practitioners who follow "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and who do not fight back when beaten or cursed. Jiang's orders of "Ruin their reputations, bankrupt them financially and destroy them physically" are fully carried out in Zhangjiakou City. The persecution imposed on Dafa and Dafa practitioners by Jiang's regime and the evil Communist Party is intolerable to human nature.
