Cases of Persecution of Falun Gong at Colleges and Universities in Beijing (Part 2)

(Clearwisdom.net) There are many universities and colleges in Beijing. Since July 1999, Jiang Zemin has attached great importance to the persecution of Falun Gong within Beijing's higher education system. Li Lanqing stayed at Tsinghua University in person in order to investigate and deal with the so-called Falun Gong issues. To aid in the persecution of Falun Gong, Jiang's Regime established the "610 Office," an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, in Beijing's Teaching Staff Committee. The "610 Office" uses top authorities at each university or college to coerce teachers and students who practice Falun Gong to give up their belief. Each work unit is required to keep a list of those who do not give up their belief. People on the list are forced by the "610 Office" to pay around 5,000 Yuan (1) to enroll in the notorious "Beijing Legal Training Center," where practitioners are subjected to intense brainwashing, and forced to watch videos and read books defaming Falun Gong. After repeated brainwashing, those who still insist on practicing Falun Gong are sent directly to forced labor camps. The "610 Office" in Beijing's Teaching Staff Committee has persecuted countless practitioners from universities and colleges in Beijing in this way, because they followed the principles of "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance."
