Bitter Winter has learned that, on June 13, the People’s Court of Korla city in Xinjiang, has sentenced 18 Jehovah’s Witnesses to imprisonment, ranging from two years and six months to six years and six months, on the charge of “organizing and using a xie jiao organization to undermine law enforcement.” As Bitter Winter previously reported, this was the first time that Article 300 of the Chinese Criminal Code was applied for a crackdown against the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Their religion is not part of the official list of the xie jiao (“heterodox teachings,” or movements banned in China), yet law provisions against the xie jiao are now applied against them.

An ally of the king of the North for sure! They will most probably die in detention. Just like Russia they treat them like they were armed terrorists. They force them to sing nationalistic songs and if they do not they are tortured or receive no food. The torturous way of handcuffing them is inhumane - even when they go to toilet.  

"Several defense lawyers wrote a joint letter to the People’s Procuratorate of Korla city,  complaining that “conjoined handcuffs” "and “hug handcuffs” “were kept locked for 24 hours a day, including the time for going to toilet, eating, washing and brushing. Those who are handcuffed can only walk with their waists bent, and sometimes they have to crawl on all fours like a dog (as remarked by Xu Yanli).”

They will be in my prayers. Jehovah loves them. Satan's old system want to break and crush their integrity.
