Chinese Police Sentence Four Protestant Christian Leaders to Labor Camps
Friday, July 28, 2006
The four were sentenced to "reeducation through labor" on Tuesday, nearly one month after they were detained at a police station in Langzhong, a city in the southwestern province of Sichuan, according to the U.S.-based China Aid Association.
The association identified the four as Li Ming, Wang Yuan, Li Mingbo, and Jin Jirong, saying they were pastors and leaders in the Chinese House Church Alliance, which groups nongovernment-sanctioned churches from across the country.
It said they were seized while appealing to officers for the release of 14 congregants seized in a raid on a non-sanctioned church service that morning.
Chinese law permits police to pass sentences of up to three years in labor camps without trial, a system ostensibly intended to convert minor criminals into upstanding citizens.
