(Minghui.org) Two Gu’an County, Hebei Province residents were sentenced to prison on December 24, 2020, for their faith in Falun Gong, a spiritual and meditation discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999.

Ms. Feng Jiying, 57, and Ms. Chen Xiuhua, 60, were arrested on June 1, 2020, after being reported for distributing Falun Gong materials. The police ransacked their home and confiscated their Falun Gong materials. They were later taken to the Qingyuan Detention Center. 

Following their arrests, the police harassed several local practitioners and their family members, in an attempt to collect more information about the two practitioners. 

Ms. Feng and Ms. Chen were tried in the Zhuozhou Court on December 24, 2020. Ms. Feng was sentenced to three years and Ms. Chen to 18 months.

They are still being held in the Qingyuan Detention Center.
