The Zhaoyuan City Public Security Bureau in
Shandong Province Declares, “We Must Also Arrest Children”
By
a Falun Gong practitioner outside of China
When
we read the news on Clearwisdom.net that 16-year-old Falun Gong practitioner Ms.
Sun Yanpei had been arrested and sent to a forced brainwashing center in Zhaoyuan
City, Shandong Province, we started calling the Zhaoyuan City Public Security
Bureau in Shandong Province. We were shocked when they told us, “We must also
arrest children who practice Falun Gong because the government bans Falun Gong.”
We made phone calls to the Zhaoyuan City Public
Security Bureau on the morning of August 15, 2005. The following staff members/offices
took our calls: the Bureau Chief, Mr. Cai Ping (86-535-8213899), people on duty
at the Bureau Office (86-535-8213885) and staff members of the State Security
Team. All of them claimed that they were unaware of the arrest.
We called
the Captain of the State Security Team at 86-13506458909 and asked him, “Why must
you arrest a 16-year-old girl?” He was silent for a while before he hung up on
me.
We called again the next day on August 16. When we asked them the same
question, the man on duty answered, “I am not sure. Hold on for a minute.” Then
he gave the phone to a woman. The woman replied, “There is a good reason why we
arrested her. We must also arrest children who practice Falun Gong because the
government bans Falun Gong.” Then she hung up on us. When we called the office
again, no one answered the call.
Apparently the police knew they had done
something wrong because they tried to seal the information after they made the
arrest. Then after we exposed the scandal, they refused to admit they had done
something wrong. Moreover, they continue to imprison the young girl. We suggest
that fellow practitioners in Zhaoyuan City thoroughly expose the facts of the
persecution against Ms. Sun Yanpei, as well as the policemen involved in the persecution.
It would be helpful if people could distribute the facts to every corner of the
city. If people could obtain the involved policemen's home addresses, please
post the flyers containing their wrongdoing on their doors and their neighbors'
doors. Keep doing so until they release Ms. Sun unconditionally.
Meanwhile,
we suggest that Falun Gong practitioners inside and outside of China keep sending
strong righteous thoughts to transfer all the pain the authorities have caused
Ms. Sun Yanpei to all of the involved policemen.
Brief
Background about Sun Yanpei
Ms. Sun Yanpei is a young
Falun Gong practitioner in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province. She is 16 and a student
at Zhaoyuan First High School in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province. Her parents
are both Falun Gong practitioners. Her father Mr. Sun Guo is currently incarcerated
in the Shandong Province Prison and her mother Ms. Teng Yingfen has been homeless
for four years in order to avoid being captured and tortured. Ms. Sun has been
left at home without her parents' care. On August 12, 2005, the staff members
from the local 610 Office arrested her at her school and sent her to a local forced
brainwashing center. Ms. Sun has been on a hunger strike as a way to peacefully
protest the persecution against her. Her health and life are at serious risk.
