The Unlawful Arrest and Mistreatment of a 16-year-old Girl
(Clearwisdom.net) Sun Yanpei, 16 years of age, is a student at Zhaoyuan No. 1 High School,
Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province. She is a junior in high school. The 610
Office arrested her on August 11, 2005. August 14 was a holiday, but Sun
Yanpei failed to return home. Her uncle then called the teacher in charge of her
class and found out that the 610 Office had arrested her three days earlier. Some Background about Sun Yanpei's Family and Her Arrest Sun Yanpei's 43-year old father, Mr. Sun Guo, is a former employee of the
Electric Power Bureau of Zhaoyuan City. Her 46-year old mother, Teng Yingfen, is
a former employee of the Automatic Instrument Plant of Zhaoyuan City. The whole
family has followed the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion,
Forbearance" since they began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. Sun Yanpei's
father worked as a supervisor at his job. Due to his excellent work, he was sent
to Nankai University in Tianjin by his employer in 1998 to do further study. Sun
Yanpei's mother used to suffer from all kinds of diseases, but she completely
recovered after she began practicing Falun Dafa. The entire family lived a
harmonious life. Since Sun Yanpei began her cultivation of Falun Dafa, she
became an outstanding student. She was ranked No. 2 in the whole city of
Zhaoyuan after her 10th grade year-end examination. Since the nationwide persecution of Falun Gong practitioners began in July
1999, launched by the former Chinese Communist leader Jiang Zemin and the
Chinese Communist Party, Sun Yanpei's family has suffered terrible hardships one
after another. Mr. Sun, who refused to give up his practice of Falun Gong, has
been persecuted for the past six years. He was arrested, detained and tortured.
He was also fired from his job. He is still detained at Shandong Provincial
Detention Center since his arrest in 2003. Ms. Sun Yanpei's mother has become
homeless, as she cannot return home or she will be arrested. As a result, Sun
Yanpei was left at home without parents. She was constantly interrogated and her
life as a student was affected dramatically. On August 11, 2005, policemen from the 610 Office at Zhaoyuan arrested Sun
Yanpei at her school. One kindhearted bystander said: "She is a good girl
and an outstanding student. Be careful not to ruin her life." A member of
the 610 Office replied: "Zhaoyuan No. 1 High school has no shortage of good
students." Sun Yanpei's main teacher and the school principal covered up
the arrest under pressure until her uncle called the school. It has been quite a while now since Sun Yanpei was detained. She is being
detained at Lingnan Goldmine Brainwashing Center of Zhaoyuan City. The
perpetrators threaten her every day and try to force her to inform them of her
mother's whereabouts. They also try to force her to write the so-called
Three Statements. Sun Yanpei started a hunger strike to protest such
treatment, demanding an unconditional release so that she could go back to
school. She is now very weak. Her grandparents and other relatives are very
worried. They went to the 610 Office to ask for the return of their
granddaughter, but they were refused. Kindhearted citizens of the world, please pay attention to Sun Yanpei's
situation and give your moral and legal support to her so that she can be
released soon. Some important contact phone numbers: Wang Shiliang: Communist Party Secretary of Zhaoyuan City, 86-535-8232868
