Mentuhui cult members sentenced in crackdown

Prison terms have been handed down to several members of the Mentuhui group (Disciples Sect) for organizing a cult and causing deaths, according to the central leading group for the prevention and handling of cult-related activities on Tuesday.

The Mentuhui, with tens of thousands of followers, has spread pseudoscience and evil thoughts under the guise of Christianity, according to the leading group.

Mentuhui was classified as a cult by the government in the 1990s.
