Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Sanhe City, Hebei Province
By a Falun Gong Practitioner in Sanhe
(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. The following are some individual persecution cases. All these people were

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. = = = = = Persons and related units responsible for the persecution and their phone
