(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Sun Guiping was illegally arrested in the morning of July 19, 2010. Lubei District police officers made the arrest. Eight officers from the Lubei District Police Department and from the Chaoyangdao Police Station ransacked Ms. Sun's home at around noon and confiscated a lot of personal property. Ms. Sun was taken to the Tangshan City Detention Center that same afternoon. She was sentenced to a two-year forced labor term on August 3, 2010.

Ms. Sun's five family members went to the Chaoyangdao Police Station the morning of July 23 to request her release. Police chief Wang said he could not make that decision.

Chaoyangdao Police Station officers covertly took Ms. Sun to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp on August 3, without informing Ms. Sun's family. Neither Ms. Sun nor her family members signed her forced labor sentence document.

Background on Ms. Sun and the earlier persecution she suffered

Ms. Sun had suffered from bronchitis, heart problems, and tinnitus before practicing Falun Gong. Her poor health made her hot-tempered. After she began practicing Falun Gong in 1997, people who knew her said that Ms. Sun became friendly and amiable. She no longer quarreled with her husband and neither did she beat or scold her children. She accompanied her husband to visit her parents-in-law at each Chinese New Year. She busied herself with household chores when the whole family prepared for a reunion dinner. Everyone praised her good and virtuous demeanor.

The Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999. Ms. Sun and another practitioner went to Tiananmen Square to appeal in December 2000. Their bicycle trip from Tangshan to Beijing took two days. Ms. Sun was arrested and held in the Tangshan No. 2 Detention Center for two years, merely for telling people "Falun Dafa is good." She returned home in April 2003.

While in the detention center, the guards forced her to watch videos that slandered Falun Gong. While viewing a video about the Chinese-government-fabricated "self-immolation in Tiananmen Square," she wrote down some doubtful points and obvious falsifications in the video and showed them to the guards. They were speechless after seeing that.

She was placed in the same cell with drug addicts, robbers, and murderers, but she treated them like anyone else she would meet. They wanted to converse with her whenever they felt bored, suffered from insomnia, or were troubled by something. Ms. Sun always shared with them her understanding of what it means to be a good person, based on what she understood from studying the Falun Gong teachings. The criminals often listened to her attentively.

Detention center guards often abused and mistreated Falun Gong practitioners. The guards once beat Ms. Sun so harshly that she had a bruised shoulder and arms. One of the guards threatened to make Ms. Sun sit on a metal chair for a week. Within a few hours, many inmates told the guard that Ms. Sun was a good person and that she should not be treated like this. As a result, Ms. Sun was released from the chair torture within a few hours. After that incident, the guards no longer made things difficult for her. The criminals who were released ahead of their terms often wrote to Ms. Sun, sharing their thoughts with her.

Such a kind person is being subjected to forced labor again. Ms. Sun is currently being held in Division Six in the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp.
