Xingtai Police Set to Sentence Adolescent Girls Wang Hui and Wang Tong

On June 17th, 2008, in the name of Olympics security, police officials from the State Security Group of Qiaodong Police Sub-Bureau in Xingtai City, Hebei Province, broke into the home of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Feng Chao. Ms. Feng was not home at the time so she escaped the raid. Nonetheless five of Ms. Feng's family members were arrested, including her mother who is in her seventies, her brother Mr. Feng Kai who had came to visit their mother, her husband Wang Junnian, and their twin daughters, Wang Hui and Wang Tong. There were visitors to the house that day and they were arrested as well. All five family members are now in detention and being persecuted. Xingtai Police Bureau has submitted the case to the Provincial Office for sentencing. The family is charged with producing Falun Gong materials for distribution.

The twin girls, Wang Hui and Wang Tong, are high school graduates. They are just 17 years old. It has been over a month since their arrests, and their mental and physical conditions are deteriorating fast. They are suffering from both mental and physical trauma and drastic weight loss. They are physically very weak now and if their situations prolong for much longer, they could lose their lives. The Chinese Communist officials now intend to sentence them.

Because of this arrest, the girls were deprived of opportunities to further their education, and their father lost his job. What was previously a happy family now has no bread-winner.
