(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Chen Zhiming originally lived in Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province. He immigrated to Canada in 2006. His wife, Ms. Huang Jinling, is 62 years old and still lives in Kunshan City. She applied for a passport in March 2001 but her passport application was rejected by the government department because she practices Falun Gong. She still lives in China and cannot reunite with her family in Canada.
Recently Mr. Chen Zhiming and his son wrote letters and made phone calls from Canada to the Police Department of Kunshan City, requesting that they provide a passport for Ms. Huang Jinling. Ms. Huang also went to the police department many times to request her passport. On February 9, 2007, in the evening, the 610 Office and the State Security Division of the Police Department in Kunshan City suddenly ransacked Ms. Huang's home. They took advantage of her being home alone and stole her possessions, including a computer, a color printer and other things, with a total value of nearly ten thousand yuan. After confiscating her family's property they did not give a list of what they took to the head of the household when they detained Ms. Huang. The ransackers all wore plain clothes. According to Ms. Huang's neighbors, everyone thought that a group of common thieves had robbed Ms. Huang's home.

Even though there is no valid reason to reject Ms. Huang's passport application, the police department simply ransacked her home, put her in detention, and looked for anything that could be used to frame her. They have illegally incarcerated her to see whether they can extort any "confessions" through torture. Afterwards, when Mr. Chen Zhiming called the State Security Division of the Police Department in Kunshan City, he asked them: "If you send an old woman to prison and persecute her to death, what advantage will that bring to your police department? How would you feel if you were one of Ms. Huang Jinling's family members?"
To avoid persecution, Ms. Huang was once compelled to leave home and became destitute and homeless for nearly a year. After that, 610 Office director Guan Zhuxing (male) in November 2003 once took her to the "reformation" center in the Suzhou region to carry out brainwashing in an attempt to force Ms. Huang to stop practicing Falun Gong.
As a rightful citizen of Canada, Mr. Chen Zhiming's son hopes the Canadian government and the media will extend their help to ask the Chinese Communist Party to stop the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners, to release Ms. Huang Jinling as soon as possible, and to process her passport application, thus enabling her to reunite as soon as possible with her family members.
