Xinjiang man jailed for 2 years for teaching family, friends about Koran on WeChat

 

Huang, by preaching and teaching the Koran at non-religious venues, disturbed the administrative order of normal religious activities, severely violated China's laws on regulating religious affairs and greatly harmed society, the verdict read.

Huang, a 49-year-old member of the Hui ethnic minority, established a WeChat group in June 2016, and taught its roughly 100 members, mostly his friends and family members, how to pray via voice messages.

Huang then explained the Eid al-Adha festival in another WeChat group in August 2016. This WeChat group also had more than 100 members, according to the verdict.

I wonder if they didn't appreciate him doing it all in audio, instead of Chinese characters.
