(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Shuguo, from Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, was illegally sentenced to five years in prison and imprisoned at the Hohhot City Prison in Inner Mongolia.

Mr. Wang Shuguo and Ms. Wang Guixia were reported for talking to people about the persecution of Falun Gong at the Keqi Train Station in Chifeng City on June 25, 2015. They were arrested, taken to the Daban Railway Police Station and transferred to the Jiuyuan District Detention Center in Baotou City on June 27.

The Jiuyuan District Court tried Mr. Wang Shuguo and Ms. Wang Guixia on September 14, 2015. The judge returned the case for lack of evidence. However, the court tried the two practitioners again on November 11, 2015, and sentenced Mr. Wang Shuguo to five years in prison.

Ms. Wang Guixia was sentenced from three to ten years' imprisonment outside of jail given her poor health and high blood pressure. The Keqi Detention Center and the Daban Detention Center refused to accept Ms. Wang. The Chifeng Police Department finally released her after they extorted 2,000 yuan from her family.

Mr. Wang Shuguo's parents are over 80 years old and need their son. Due to stress and worry since he was arrested, their health has deteriorated.
