(Minghui.org) A Falun Gong practitioner was recently sentenced to three and a half years in prison for distributing informational materials about the practice and the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

Mr. Yue Jianjun, 42, from Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, was sentenced in the Zezhou County Court on March 2, 2016. He has since appealed.

Mr. Yue was arrested while distributing Falun Gong flyers on September 7, 2015. The police ransacked his home and confiscated Falun Gong related materials, as well the computer and printer that he used to make the flyers. He has been detained in the Zezhou County Detention Center since then.

Family's Plight

Mr. Yue's arrest was a great shock to his family. Grief-stricken after learning that his son was going to be tried, Mr. Yue’s father started to go downhill, and his health deteriorated. He suffered a heart attack and passed away on February 29, 2016, only two days before Mr. Yue was sentenced.

Because Mr. Yue was in the detention center, his wife had to go out of town to find a job. There was no one to harvest the crops on their small farm. Mr. Yue's mother was left on her own, distressed about her son's ordeal.
