[8] Wall Street Journal reported: How One Chinese City Resorted To Atrocities to Control Falun Dafa: Mr] Wu quickly found ways to transfer the pressure] First, Weifang city officials say, Mr] Wu ensured that every official in the city knew what was at stake, by calling a meeting of police and government officials to a "study session." There, the central government's directive was read out loud] "The government instructed us to limit the number of protesters or be responsible," says another government official.(Back)
Such methods quickly led to abuses] Several Falun Dafa adherents imprisoned by local police early this year say their captors told them that their continued protests threatened to derail officials' careers. "One policeman beat me with truncheons," says a 43-year-old factory worker imprisoned in December 1999] "He said we were responsible for his boss's political problems."(Back)
That detainee was beaten after being arrested in Beijing and transferred back to his hometown of Weifang. City officials said such arrests reflected badly on Governor Wu and the rest of the province because people arrested in Beijing are booked by central security agents and their hometown noted] Statistics are then compiled, and provinces with a high number of protesters -- like Shandong - are criticized] Beating people in Weifang might eventually slow down the number of protesters, but authorities wanted results immediately."(Back)
