Released After Six Years in Prison, Mr. Sun Guo Still Subjected to Relentless Persecution

Aug. 6, 2009

(Clearwisdom.net) For over ten years, Mr. Sun Guo and his family in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province have suffered from brutal persecution by the CCP because of their steadfast belief in Master Li and Falun Gong. Mr. Sun Guo was detained for over six years, from September 2002 to December 2008. His wife has been forced to leave their home and has been wandering around in a homeless state for years to avoid persecution. Both of them were fired from their work units. During his detention in prison, Sun Guo's parents, who were over 80 years old, suffered from the stress and pressure of their son being in prison and constantly worried about his safety. Because of that, they passed away one after another. His mother-in-law kept being harassed by the "610 Office"police, and the security staff from the Electric Bureau frightened her so much that she suffered a mental breakdown. She has been sent to the hospital several times.  

After Sun Guo was released, he was still being closely monitored by the 610 Office and the CCP's staff within the Zhaoyuan City Electric Bureau. Day and night, specially assigned people took turns monitoring and following him.

Here are some persecution details.

Since July 20, 1999, when the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong, led by the heads of Zhaoyuan Electric Bureau, Jiang Honghai and Tong Suzhang, the officials have been actively involved in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, especially in the case of Sun Guo. Before Sun Guo was sentenced in 2002, they had tried many times to force Sun Gong to hand over the Falun Gong books and to write the so-called "guarantee statement" to give up practicing Falun Gong. They assigned people to specifically monitor Sun Guo's home and follow him around. They bugged his home phone and even cut off his phone service. For years, during the "sensitive days," the security staff even slept in front of the door of Sun Guo's home in order to watch him day and night and to prevent him from going anywhere. Even when Sun Guo went back to his hometown to celebrate the Chinese New Year, he was still followed, which made the entire family and all the relatives feel very uneasy and uncomfortable during the holidays.

On April 3, 2002, Sun Guo was placed on the wanted list of the Zhaoyuan City 610 Office. He was forced to leave home and wander around. He was fired from the Electric Bureau. More than ten police and security personnel from the 610 Office and the Electric Bureau surrounded Sun Guo's home and forced his wife to hand over Sun Guo; otherwise they claimed they were going to arrest his wife. His wife was forced to leave the house as well to avoid being arrested. Their young daughter was left home alone. They even followed and monitored their daughter for more than 40 days, which caused her extreme mental anguish.

In September 2002, because of distributing truth-clarification materials, Sun Guo was arrested in Biguo Town, Zhaoyuan City. After being detained in the detention center for half a year, Sun Guo was illegally sentenced to eight years in prison and was sent to No.1 Prison in Shandong Province. During his detention, Sun Guo suffered inhumane torture and almost lost his life. He was released in December 2008.

During his detention, since his wife had to leave home as well, the family had no income. His daughter had great difficulty paying the cost of going to school. Any normal family life was completely disrupted.

After returning home, Sun Guo went to talk to Jiang Honghai, the head of the Electric Bureau, to ask for his job back. He was refused. Later, after asking several more times, he was given a temporary position.

Recently, the officials in the bureau said they were given official orders from a higher authority to step up the persecution. Once again they started to monitor and follow Sun Guo around. He was monitored at work, at home and when outside, which put a great deal of pressure on his family. Even his right to live a normal life is being violated.
