Christian Persecution Documented in New Report on Human Rights in China
While the number of religious believers in China continued to grow, the Government's record on respect for religious freedom remained poor, according to a recently released report on Human Rights practices in China. The report—released yesterday by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor—also stated that the repression of members of unregistered religious groups increased in some parts of the country.
Members of unregistered congregations experienced “ongoing and, in some cases, increased official interference, harassment, and repression,” the Bureau stated in the Feb. 28 report. “Government officials increased vigilance against ‘foreign infiltration under the guise of religion.’ The Government detained and prosecuted a number of underground religious figures in both the Protestant and Catholic Church.” Among them, Protestants Liu Fengang, Xu Yonghai, and Zhang Shengqi were sentenced for sending to overseas organizations information that the Government considered sensitive.
