During the interrogation, his residence was illegally invaded and his computer was used without his authorization.
From 9:10 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. the next day, the three members of Fan Yafeng’s immediate family — including his 3-year-old son — were being interrogated at the police station. Strangely, the police station not only confiscated Fan Yafeng’s cell phone, they also confiscated the keys to his home.
