Ju Dianhong is imprisoned for her religious belief and activity.
In late 2016 (around September), Yunnan authorities detained Ju and several colleagues. They were formally arrested on November 25, 2016. Authorities alleged that the Ju and her colleagues belonged to the “Three Grades of Servants Sect” and conducted illicit religious activities.
On December 28, 2017, the Yun County People’s Court sentenced Ju to 13 years in prison and fined her 150,000 yuan for "organizing or using a cult to undermine implementation of the law" (Art. 300 CCL).
