On July 25, 2019, a court in Yunnan upheld Pastor John Cao’s seven-year sentence after a farce of an appeal process. The decision was handed down in a court surrounded by heavy police presence. Only Cao’s 83-year-old mother and her sister, along with their lawyer, were allowed to hear the verdict. In August, John was transferred to a prison in Kunming.
