An Alberta teacher who recently became the third Canadian detained in China this month has been sentenced to administrative punishment for illegal employment, according to a spokesperson for the Chinese government.

Hua Chunying of the Chinese Foreign Ministry told reporters during a briefing Thursday that Sarah McIver was sentenced to an administrative punishment, but did not explain what that means.

He told CBC the family said McIver had been working in China for months without problems when Chinese authorities suddenly reached out to question her about her visa. She was then arrested, leaving her family deeply concerned.

A source who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed Canadian officials did not find out about this latest detention from their Chinese counterparts.
