BEIJING, October 31 (Xinhuanet) -- Diehards of the outlawed Falun
Gong cult in the Chinese mainland have been found using new self-
made devices to secretly spread messages under the guidance of
overseas bases of the cult, headed by Li Hongzhi, according to the
police.
 Police have discovered and confiscated the devices in Beijing
and another ten provinces in the country and closed down the
underground nests where the cult diehards assembled, stored and
distributed the devices.
 Each device, which works like a tape player, is composed of
loudspeaker, amplifier circuit, player, timer and storage battery,
which were purchased and assembled by the die-hard elements of the
cult, said police.
 They usually deposit the devices near rehabilitation houses and
government department buildings, in parks, schools and other
public places to broadcast Li Hongzhi's instructions through
remote control and timer.
 Police investigations show that Gu Xiufang, a Falun Gong cult
diehard in Beijing who uses "Gu Hui" as alias when carrying out
missions, started in March to purchase the required components and
connected with fellow Falun Gong members to assemble and
distribute the devices after she received direction from Falun
Gong's web site.
 Gu told police that she got from the web site detailed
direction about the whole plan and how to make the devices.
 The Chinese government has officially banned the Falun Gong
cult, which has led more than 1,000 followers to commit suicide or
self-immolation. So far, most Falun Gong followers in China have
cut ties with the cult and returned to their normal lives.
 The Falun Gong overseas organization headed by Li Hongzhi is
very worried about losing followers on the mainland and the
purpose of these devices is to increase their voice, said Gu.
