Prison terms for promoting cult, hosting gatherings
Print Edition
NINE people have been sent to prison for organizing gatherings of the Quannengshen sect and distributing materials designed to attract followers in three separate cases in northeast China’s Liaoning Province and Henan Province in central China.
Three female Quannengshen cult followers received three-year sentences at Huanren Manchu Autonomous County People’s Court in Liaoning. They had hosted a Quannengshen gathering in a residential complex in the county last June, Xinhua news agency reported.
Police found a large number of books and handwritten notes related to the cult at the scene.
The three told police the material came from another woman who was responsible for the sect’s activities in Huanren.
At her home, police found a large number of books, videos, tapes and other documents and materials related to the sect.
She was sentenced to four years in prison.
In Henan, a man was jailed three years and six months by Xixian County People’s Court for distributing Quannengshen materials in public places. More than 200 brochures were found in his bag and other material related to the sect was at his home.
At the same court, four women were sentenced from three years to three years and six months.
After detention in 2012 for distributing sect materials they gathered again to compile material claiming Quannengshen members were being persecuted by the police.
Quannengshen, or “Almighty God,” is a doomsday cult which was outlawed in the mid-1990s.
