Midland, Texas (CAA)-June 8, 2006
CAA learned that a Chinese House church in Henan was raided and 28
Christians were arrested. At 11 am, May 28, during a Christian worship service
at a home at Xiguan Ma Jia Chang, Fugou County, the PSB raided the gathering and
took 28 church members to the police station. Twenty-three were released later
that evening. One Christian lady, 59-year-old Ms. Liu Yuemei, was released June
1, after her family was forced to pay a fine of 1600 Yuan (US $200). Another
lady, 35-year-old Ms. Chang Xinhong, was released June 8, after she promised to
pay her fine in cash.
Three Christians still remain at Ba-Yi Prison, Fugou County, Henan Province.
They are 58-year-old Ms. Chen Xuelan, who hosted the gathering, 55-year-old Ms.
Cao Yan, and 52-year-old Pastor. Li Shunmin.
According to those familiar with this case, during the raid, the police
produced no ID, summons, or detention papers. Bibles and notebooks belonging to
the church members were confiscated by the police and no receipts were issued.
The Christians decided to make a legal appeal and Dr. Li Baiguang and Dr.
Fan Yafeng, two members of Chinese Christian Legal Aid Association agreed to be
their legal representatives.
CAA urges the Chinese government to release these Christians and to honor
their international and Constitutional commitment for religious freedom.
