Office 610

The popular name (derived from the date of its establishment, June 10, 1999) of the Public  Security  Anti-Xie  Jiao  Organization  (公安部反邪教组), a specialized police unit created to fight the xie jiao. Originally, its main target was Falun Gong, but now The Church of Almighty God seems to be at least equally important as a main object of Office 610’s persecution activities.
