(Minghui.org) One resident in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province was arrested and two other locals were sentenced to prison for their faith in Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.
One Arrested
Mr. Qin Fajun was arrested on August 28, 2019. He is currently held at Zhangwan Detention Center. His arrest came less than two years after he was released from prison. He had previously served two terms for a total of ten years.
Two Sentenced
Ms. Xu Jing was arrested in November 2018. She was detained at Sanmenxia City Detention Center for almost a year before being sentenced to four years in prison in October 2019. She has been sent to Xinxiang Women's Prison.
This is the second time that Ms. Xu has been sentenced for her faith. She was previously given a three-year term, also at Xinxiang Women's Prison.
Ms. Ji Chunmei was arrested at home on October 16, 2018. She was given eight years in September 2019, after one year of incarceration at Sanmenxia City Detention Center. The authorities kept her family in the dark during her prosecution.
It was reported that both Ms. Xu and Ms. Ji were once held at a brainwashing center located in Sanmenxia City Leather Shoe Factory during their one-year detention.
