Mr. Li Hui and His Wife Detained, Their Children Threatened for Requesting the Couple's Release

On April 16th, 2009, Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Li Hui and his wife Wang Hua from Yihe Village, Taojiatun Town, Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province were arrested by officers from the Taojiatun Police Station and the National Security Team of the Gongzhuling City Police Department. Police Li Hui and Yao Xiaohua tortured them into making a "confession," and then transferred them to the Gongzhuling Court. However the court officer Yue Lin returned the case to the police department due to insufficient evidence. One week later on June 16th, the police still had not released the couple and plotted to fabricate evidence to further persecute them.

On June 13th, the children of Li Hui and Wang Hua went to the Taojiatun Police Station to request their parents' release. They were cursed at and threatened by the policemen there. The police even found a local legal consultant named Shi to videotape them to use as "evidence" that the couple's children were "interfering with the government." During the process, the police director said shamelessly that they did not protect the public; instead they only protect the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The following is the how the conversation went between the couple's children and the director of the police department:

One of the children asked: "You illegally arrest good people. If you did not arrest my parents, I would not be here, so how can you call our being here interfering [with you]?!" The police head Chang Xuchun said, "I don't care if they are good people or not, I just follow the orders of my superior."

Children: "Don't you protect the interest of the public?"

Director Chang: "I don't care about the interest of the public, and I only protect the CCP."

Children: "Will you execute the Constitution?"

Director Chang: "I don't execute the Constitution; I only execute the Criminal Law."

Children: "Can you show us what criminal law forbids people from practising Falun Gong?"

Director Chang said: "You find it yourself." He also said: "I have the authority to arrest people, but I have no authority to release them. I don't know anything about the Constitution."

On June 17th, the children again went to the Taojiatun Police Station to find Li Hui and Yao Xiaohua who were in charge of the case and said, "The court rejected the case, please stop fabricating evidence." Director Chang heard this and shouted, "The court is nothing! I will make up the evidence. Can you do anything about this? You can sue me if you want."

Then the deputy director Li Hui ordered several police officers to push the couple's daughter from the bench to the floor, dragging her by the arms and legs. Li shouted to some farmers who had come in to apply for an identification card: "The office is closed now; they are interfering with the office. As long as they come here, the office will close." Afterwards he pointed to the residence registration officer and ordered him to stop working. Everyone saw this, so how could he fabricate the story against the children about interfering with the office?

The children said, "Our parents are innocent, yet you arrested them, so why should we not ask you for justice?"

Police Li Hui said, "You can do nothing about it even if they are innocent. If you were my superior, I would release them. You have no authority, so I can't release them!"

Li Hui called the police department for advice about how to handle the couple's children and received the message: "You may ask them if they practice Falun Gong, and if so, we will have an excuse to arrest them." Li Hui said that maybe one of them practised Falun Gong.

Then the police found the wife of office staff attorney nicknamed "Xiaoshizi", and had her hide in the office of the deputy director, making a video recording through the door. Police Li Hui asked them loudly: "Do you practise Falun Gong?" To make sure it was recorded, he emphasized the words "Falun Gong." He repeatedly asked, but the sister and brother did not fall into the trap. They just sat in the corridor. Thus Li Hui's trick failed.

The sister and brother went to many departments and related officials, seeking justice for their parents. Yao Xiaohua's wife disclosed the following to them: "To tell you the truth, two months prior to your parents being arrested, Wang De (director of the National Security Team at the Gongzhuling Police Department) often came to the police station and discussed ways to arrest your parents. You should ask Wang De for your parents' release!"
