(Clearwisdom.net) Sanhe in Hebei Province is not a big city. Since July 20, 1999, though, according to a rough estimate, at least 41 Falun Gong practitioners in Sanhe were illegally sentenced to forced labor and hundreds were illegally detained, many of them repeatedly, some over a dozen times. More people were forced to pay huge amounts of fines. Police raided people's homes, beat them and used electric batons to shock them. A number of practitioners were fired from work or expelled from school. Widespread makeshift detention centers run by employers and local governments are commonplace. Authorities have often confiscated practitioners' identification cards. Thousands of practitioners have suffered various forms of persecution. According to 1999 official statistics, there were more than 3,000 Falun Gong practitioners in the Sanhe area.

These practitioners, who had benefited from practicing Falun Gong and have in turn brought benefits to their families and society, were sent to forced labor camps simply because they strive to be good persons and refuse to give up the principles of "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance," and because they trusted the government and kindly tried to clarify the truth of the persecution to the government. They did not do anything wrong, but only exercised their civil rights protected by the Chinese constitution. Yet, they were charged with "Disturbing the Social Order," and accused of "Plotting to Overthrow the Government." Some Falun Gong practitioners were arrested from their homes, wrongly accused, sentenced and suffered brutal torture.
Dafa practitioners Song Jianguo, Zhang Haixia and Zhang Caixia are still under detention and are suffering to date.
