(Minghui.org) At 3 p.m. on May 23, 2012, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Fang Ming was taken into custody by the Xinjian Branch of the Baishan Police Department and illegally detained at the Baishan City Detention Center.
On May 23, 2012 after visiting with a friend, Mr. Fang was going down a stairway when he was stopped by the captain of the Domestic Security Division, Guo Yongjun, and his five officers. They took him back to his friend's home and confiscated a computer and a printer by force. That same day after 5 p.m., four officers went to ransack Mr. Fang's home.
About 8 police officers went to the company where Mr. Fang worked and took his monitoring equipment, office supplies, computer, printer, etc. worth over ten thousand yuan, around 9 a.m. on May 24, 2012.
On May 29, 2012, Mr. Fang's family members went to the Xinjian Branch of the Baishan Police Department to ask what crime he had committed. The department head had no answer and said that they should ask the person in charge of the case. When they asked the Domestic Security Division officer in charge of the case, he said the cause of arrest was that Mr. Fang had Falun Dafa books. When they asked which law was broken by having these books, he said that it was an internal decision by the department. Then, the family members asked him what harm had been caused by having these books and who was hurt because of these books. He had nothing to say.
Mr. Fang's family members went to see Mr. Ding, the head of the Xinjian Branch, on May 31, 2012. Ding arranged for his deputy, Tian Zhisong, to speak to the Baishan Police Department. Tian said that it would take days and that they should just wait.
Mr. Fang's family members said to Mr. Ding: “Mr. Fang is in charge of the planning and purchasing of mining materials at the Banshitie Mining agency. Every year he handles tens of millions of yuan but he does not take any kickbacks, because he is a Falun Dafa practitioner. He has saved a lot of money for our country during a time when government corruption is rampant and morality is in rapid decline. The practice of Dafa has made him a good man. His colleagues and supervisor admire the positive power of Dafa. To imprison a good man and persecute him is unthinkable. Certainly, it is a violation of the law of nature. We hope you and your colleagues recognize this fact and treat Dafa practitioners well. You will also be choosing a bright future for yourselves.”
