[China] Mainland Fellow Practitioners: Be Aware of the Police Blacklist!

Recently I visited another city. When I entered the railway station I was asked to present my I.D. card. I saw every policeman holding a device looking very similar to a PDA. I don't know whether the device was connected to the Internet. After examining my I.D. card, they recorded my name and I.D. card number. As my information was not found in their records, I was then allowed to go into the station. According to a friend of mine, a Falun Gong practitioner in his work unit was sentenced to a prison term and thrown into Guangzhou City's Sanshui Forced Labor Camp because s/he had published a solemn declaration of persisting in Dafa cultivation on Clearwisdom.net. I doubt that all names from Clearwisdom.net are on the blacklist, but the police are now rampantly searching for practitioners throughout the country by using these blacklists and electronic communication tools.
