Stopped Before Boarding Flight to Freedom | Ms. Zhang Xinyan Faces Forced Return to China A longtime Falun Gong practitioner and UNHCR-recognized refugee was prevented from boarding her flight to resettlement in Canada on July 8, 2026. Ms. Zhang Xinyan, who fled China in 2014 after persecution for practicing her faith, had completed emergency humanitarian processing, including interviews, medical exams, and biometrics. Thai authorities stopped her at Bangkok’s airport departure gate and transferred her to the Suan Phlu Immigration Detention Center. Given her religious beliefs and public advocacy as an elected member of the Hong Kong Parliament-in-Exile, she faces serious risk of arbitrary detention, torture, or prolonged imprisonment if forcibly returned to China. Every hour heightens the danger that a tragedy will unfold. Immediate diplomatic action is required to uphold non-refoulement and protect those fleeing religious persecution. Stand with Ms. Zhang—urge officials to intervene now and ensure her safe passage to Canada. Act now: Contact the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) at infocecc@mail.house.gov or (202) 226-3766, and the State Department at (202) 647-6575. Urge immediate diplomatic intervention to uphold non-refoulement and secure her flight to Canada. Demand Thailand honor non-refoulement and let Ms. Zhang fly to safety in Canada. chinaaid.org/news/the-last-… #SaveZhangXinyan #ReligiousFreedom #FalunGong #StopRefoulement #ChinaPersecution Attention: @CECCgov @SecRubio @MFAThai @SihasakPh @ppoliceofficial @prdthailand

锡安教会案升级：牧师妻子揭露当局胁迫 呼吁无罪释放 北京时间7月17日，中国援助协会（ChinaAid）发布消息称，北京锡安教会牧师王林的妻子苏子明于7月5日发布视频，公开揭露丈夫在2025年10月9日被捕时的遭遇。苏子明表示，当局以逮捕她和两个孩子的名义威胁王林，强迫其签署认罪书，称“信仰不是罪，牧养不是罪”。 据悉，此案即“10·9锡安教案”。当局最初以“非法利用信息网络罪”逮捕18名牧师及同工，后分案处理。目前9人已取保候审，剩余9人包括王林牧师被移送检察院，罪名升级为“诈骗罪”和“非法经营罪”。王林作为锡安圣经学院院长，同时面临两项指控。其他被告如汪中、吴秋雨被控非法经营，尹会彬、高颖佳等则被控诈骗。 锡安教会是北京知名未注册家庭教会，2018年遭取缔后转为网络与小型聚会模式，在全国多地发展。2025年10月，警方在全国多城市突袭抓捕，引发国际关注。金明日牧师已获释，但其余8人仍被羁押。苏子明呼吁国际社会持续关注，强调“一人无罪、全部无罪”，盼望丈夫及同工早日获释。 此案反映中国对家庭教会的持续打压，宗教自由再度成为焦点。

Cancer-Stricken Pastor John Cao Shares Daily Poems of Faith — Will China Finally Let Him Come Home? Pastor John Cao has been discharged from Changsha Hospital after completing radiation therapy for late-stage prostate cancer following his seven-year imprisonment for peaceful Christian ministry. Since June 10, the U.S. permanent resident has posted daily poems of faith and sacrifice on WeChat, expressing joyful submission to suffering for the Lord, much like the Apostle Paul’s letters. Despite this resilience, authorities still withhold his passport and exit permission, preventing family reunion in America and further medical treatment.

Wife Exposes Coercion in China’s Zion Church Crackdown In a July 5 video, Su Ziming, wife of detained Pastor Wang Lin, declared her husband innocent in China’s Zion Church persecution case. She revealed that authorities threatened their children and pressured him to sign a confession during his October 2025 arrest, exploiting family concerns. Authorities have split the original mass detention case into separate prosecution tracks for different pastors and church coworkers, with defendants now facing different criminal charges. Wang Zhong and Wu Qiuyu have been charged with illegal business operations. Yin Huibin, Gao Yingjia, Wang Cong, Liu Zhenbin, and Lin Shucheng face fraud charges. Meanwhile, Pastor Wang Lin (Franklin Wang), president of Zion Bible Seminary and one of the case’s central figures, has been charged with both fraud and illegal business operations.

Chinese Police Harass Christian Family in Dallas, Texas A Christian mother living in Dallas, Texas, has received repeated calls from Chinese police asking when she and her daughter will return to China. Her husband, who remains in China, has faced similar questions from state security officials. This harassment follows a July 11 crackdown on house churches in Yueyang, Hunan, where believers were detained. ChinaAid President Rev. Dr. Bob Fu condemned the Chinese Communist Party’s campaign against independent Christians, noting that the regime continues to treat peaceful worship as a threat to state security and extends surveillance and intimidation to families abroad. The international community must demand an end to such transnational threats against religious freedom. Pray for the protection of families facing CCP transnational harassment. #religiousfreedom #PersecutedChristians #ChinaPersecution #HouseChurches #PrayForChina

Exposed: Six-Month Surveillance Leads to Coordinated Raids on Yueyang House Churches (Pastors and Children Detained) On the evening of July 11, 2026, Chinese authorities launched a coordinated crackdown on multiple house church congregations in Yueyang, Hunan Province. Police detained Pastor Huang Lei, Elder Yang Jianjun, Teacher Yuan Shiying, numerous church co-workers, believers, and children after months of surveillance, calling it the “final net-closing operation.” Some were held for interrogation until around 3 a.m. the following day. Stand with the persecuted Christians in Yueyang—pray for the detained, share their story, and advocate for religious freedom! #YueyangCrackdown #HouseChurchPersecution #ReligiousFreedom #ChinaPersecution #TransnationalRepression *Footage Depiction

China Releases 9 Zion Church Members | Escalates Charges Against 9 Others Detained A church announcement released Friday said authorities freed nine detained believers after the expiration of the maximum investigative detention period allowed under Chinese law. At the same time, prosecutors moved forward with cases against nine church leaders, reportedly replacing earlier allegations with charges of “illegal business operations” and “fraud.” The remaining nine church leaders face a more uncertain future. Reports indicate that Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri, Pastor Wang Lin, Pastor Gao Yingjia, Pastor Yin Huibin, Pastor Liu Zhenbin, Pastor Lin Shucheng, Pastor Wang Cong, Elder Wang Zhong, and Wu Qiuyu have been transferred to the Yinhai District People’s Procuratorate in Beihai for prosecution.

11 YEARS AGO The Chinese Communist Party orchestrated a brutal nationwide crackdown, kidnapping and arbitrarily detaining over 400 human rights lawyers and activists in midnight raids. It was a direct assault on justice and religious freedom. Never forget the 709 Crackdown. Honor the legacy of the 709 lawyers. Pray for their families. #709Crackdown #ReligiousFreedom #HumanRightsLawyers with @BobFu4China

Remembering the 709 Crackdown, which happened 11 years ago today and underscored the Chinese Communist Party’s tyrannical nature. (N.b., excerpt from a speech I gave a year ago.) @BobFu4China

Event: July 9th, 9:00 a.m. ET China Human Rights Lawyers Day. Commemoration of the 11th anniversary of '709 Crackdown' on human rights lawyers in China. YouTube streaming at: youtube.com/live/EV1lV1tuW…

11 YEARS AGO TODAY Attorney Piero Tozzi asked the question the world still refuses to answer: “Is a rule of law-based society possible so long as the Chinese Communist Party controls China?” Tiananmen proved the Party is supreme. The West’s “China fantasy” subsidized the tyranny anyway. The 709 Crackdown was the direct result — over 300 lawyers and activists targeted for defending persecuted Christians and Falun Gong practitioners. Secret detention. Torture. Forced confessions. Unfair trials. Their families still live under surveillance, job bans, and collective punishment. Will we keep pretending the answer is anything but no? Stand with the 709 defenders. #709Crackdown #ReligiousFreedomChina #chinahumanrights With @tozzi_piero and @BobFu4China

Justice Obstructed: New Barriers Emerge for Pastor Wang Lin in Escalating Zion Church Crackdown Separated from his wife and children since his October 2025 arrest, Beijing Zion Church Pastor Dr. Wang Lin now faces upgraded charges of illegal business operations and fraud. His attorney, Zhang Lei, was denied access to prosecution case files on June 23 after submitting authorization documents to the Yinhai District People’s Procuratorate in Beihai. Prosecutors demanded additional paperwork not required by law, which attorney Zhang Lei described as “absurd.” Wang’s wife, Su Ziming, publicly condemned the requirements, arguing they contradict China’s Civil Code. This latest development in the crackdown on the prominent independent house church highlights concerns over access to justice for religious believers. Advocates continue to call for fair proceedings and respect for religious freedom. Stand with Pastor Wang Lin and the persecuted—share their story and urge Chinese authorities to uphold due process and religious freedom today.

Thousands of Crosses Destroyed: Xi Jinping’s Systematic Assault on Christian Faith Exposed Since President Xi Jinping took power, Chinese authorities have waged war on the cross, forcibly removing thousands from church rooftops starting in Wenzhou, Zhejiang—China’s Jerusalem. The campaign quickly expanded province-wide and nationwide, affecting even government-sanctioned Three-Self churches. Crosses were taken down, burned, or destroyed, and some church buildings were leveled. 19 Years of documentation. See for yourself.
