7. [Liaoning province] Officials of Liaozhong County Professional Education Center Slander Falun Gong to Poison the Staff and Students
Since July 20, 1999, some officials of the Liaozhong County Professional Education Center in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province were coerced to participate in the persecution of Falun Gong. The officials now actively spread lies from Jiang's regime that slander Falun Gong, and deceive and poison the minds of the staff and students at the center. In 2000, they held a signature campaign that attacked Falun Gong, displayed posters showing propaganda about Falun Gong, forced every class to have a discussion session in which students had to state their positions about the Falun Gong issue, and incited hatred of Falun Gong among the students. In early 2004, right after the winter break, the center obtained a new principal, Wang Bangchao (male, around 40). He made a new list of regulations for the staff and students of the school to follow. One of the regulations is called School Discipline and it focuses on slandering Falun Gong. This regulation has been posted in every classroom. The school has ten classrooms and every student is exposed to such propaganda.
