Will I be fined or arrested transferring through Finland with expired Schengen visa? [closed]

I'm a Chinese student studying in Sweden. My visa extension was rejected by the Swedish migration office, and because of this I will leave for China within a month. However, I had no idea about a potential transfer problem in Finland, as my visa has been expired for half a year.

Is there any possibility that I will be arrested while in the transfer in Helsinki?
