Chinese Military Police Ready to Crackdown "Xinjiang"-style: Nine Fushan Church Leaders Kidnapped

We have another press release from China Aid regarding the latest on some kidnapped church leaders.  Read the full press release here.

SHANXI--On Friday, September 25, nine Fushan Church leaders, including Pastor Yang Rongli, were kidnapped by Shanxi PSB officers while traveling to Beijing to petition the central government for justice concerning the local authorities' brutal attack on September 13th. They were illegally seized without warrant, and have not been heard from since Friday night. After the arrests, local authorities forcibly confiscated all computers, TVs and other church-owned valuables, calling them "illegal materials." Remaining church leaders and active members were placed under house arrest and are now under constant surveillance. On September 26, the central government stationed state military police inside the main Fushan Church in Linfen city, where 5,000 of the 50,000-member Linfen House Church network worship together weekly, to prevent them from entering the building or holding services. Military police now guard the building and the surrounding areas around the clock. More than 30 daughter churches in nearby townships have been prohibited from gathering to worship in their churches and homes.
