(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, many practitioners were given long sentences on trumped-up charges by a court in Qingdao City, Shandong Province.

Ms. Wang Shulan, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Qingdao City, was sentenced to a prison term of 17 years. Wang Kangning, also from Qingdao City, was sentenced to nine years.

Another practitioner, Ms. Li Min, an employee of the Jimo City Bank of Agriculture, was given a prison term of six years. These practitioners were secretly sentenced after they had been detained for more than six months.

During the last few years, government agencies in Qingdao City have secretly given practitioners similar heavy sentences.
