Taipei, Nov. 1 (CNA) A retired National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) professor who disappeared

in China has been sentenced to a three-to-four year prison term on national security charges, a source close to the professor's family told CNA Friday.

Shih Cheng-ping (施正屏), a retired associate professor from NTNU's Graduate Institute of International Human Resource Development, has been missing in China since last August.

In an interview with CNA that day, a source with knowledge of Shih's case said they received word in April that Shih had been sentenced to three to four years, but did not divulge how or from whom the information was received.

The family has kept a low profile regarding Shih's disappearance in order to keep the news from Shih's mother, who is in poor health and has spent long periods in the hospital, the source said.
