A Chinese court has jailed four activists linked to the New Citizens' Movement, which campaigns for government transparency.
Human rights lawyer Ding Jiaxi was jailed for three and a half years while veteran activist Zhao Changqing was jailed for two and a half years.
Activists Zhang Baocheng and Li Wei each received two-year sentences.
The verdicts come after Beijing's high court upheld a four-year jail term given to movement founder Xu Zhiyong.
The New Citizens' Movement is a loose network of activists campaigning for government officials to disclose their wealth.
