Daughter of Detained Dafa Practitioner Mr. Shi Zhimin from Hebei Province Requests Police to Release Her Father

The Langfang City "610 Office¹" agents in Hebei Province and those from the National Security Division arrested many Dafa practitioners on February 5th, 2006. At around 11:00 a.m. on February 6th, 2006, practitioner Shi Zhimin's daughter went to the National Security Division. She went to the fifth floor and heard someone continuously shouting, "Falun Dafa is good!" She looked where the voice came from and saw her father handcuffed to a metal chair. He was unable to move and did not get any sleep the night before. Another Dafa practitioner was locked inside a room and could not be seen.

Shi Zhimin's daughter explained the goal of her visit and one police officer took her to the head office of the 515 National Security Division.

Shi Zhimin's daughter asked, "Why did you arrest my father?" Officer Gao Chenggang said, "Your father was in a mob riot in Xianghe County. We went and brought him back here."

She said, "My father is old and weak. How could he have been in a mob riot?" Xin Pingyu said, "What do you mean he's weak? He's very healthy!"

She said, "I only believe the facts. My father didn't do anything wrong." Officer Gao Chenggang said, "He gathered a mob, created a riot and disrupted the administration of state law."

His daughter said, "My father is so old, what kind of law did he break? My father was last tortured in Henan Province until he weighed less than 55 pounds. His condition had just improved a little."

She continued, "When will you release my father?" The officers said, "We have to wait for orders from above. We don't have the authority to release him."

She asked, "Doesn't the order still come from the police department? You belong to the same system. Don't you claim to serve the people?" The officer said, "But not you. You are not considered one of the 'people!' If you don't leave, we'll detain you. Get out! Now!" Then they shoved her.

Shi Zhimin's daughter said, "I have to bring my father home." Xin Pingyu said, "We don't have to talk to you." She asked Xin Pingyu what really happened that led to the arrest. Xin Pingyu said, "The nature of this case hasn't been determined. It's a secret and must be kept as such. Quick, leave now! Don't interfere with public duty." She shoved the daughter very hard and tried to push her out while saying to her, "You think you can take him home whenever you want to? I'll throw you out if you don't leave right now!"

Gao Chenggang and Xin Pingyu pushed the daughter.

The daughter tried to go to the room where her father was held. Gao Chenggang said, "Get out! You are not allowed to see your father!" He dragged the metal chair into another room with Shi Zhimin locked in it. Shi Zhimin's daughter said, "Can't you be more gentle? Is this how you treat an old man?"

Gao Chenggang didn't say anything. He dragged the chair into another room and shut the door.
