(Minghui.org) Four Weifang City residents were secretly sentenced to prison for distributing information about Falun Gong and its persecution by the Chinese communist regime.

Ms. Yu Hongmei, Ms. Cui Wenlan, Ms. Jiao Cuibo, and Ms. Wang Guangying were arrested on August 30, 2016, months after they were reported to police for distributing Falun Gong materials in neighboring Linqu County.

Linqu County Court held a secret trial of the four women on September 12 and sentenced each to two years. They were transferred to Shandong Province Women’s Prison on October 20.

Ms. Cui demanded that prison officials inform her family of her incarceration. Only then did her husband discover her whereabouts, as the police had not informed him or the other practitioners’ families about the arrests.
