I can only read the headlines of the Chineese News Service: “Church goes to Camp”.

Nice. Do you really believe that the church in China will be the only one around the world that will be persecuted? As the overall population of America grows dramtically unchurch that those who seek to be different from the pc churches (state churches?) will not also become persecuted in America?

China Court Reconsidering Labor Camp Sentence For Frail Christian

BEIJING, CHINA (BosNewsLife)– A Chinese court will reconsider whether a Uygur House Church Christian is to remain in a labor camp in China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang, amid worries about his health, his supporters and family said Monday, April 14.

Wusiman Yiming’s appeal was to be held Wednesday, April 16, at Kashi People’s Court by judges from Xinjiang’s Hetian city. Only legal representatives will be allowed to attend the trial, because of what China sees as the “sensitivity” of the case, Christians said.

Wusiman Yiming, a devoted Christian, was detained in September by the State Security Bureau of Southern Xinjiang Hetian City,  a main law enforcement agency, on charges of “divulging state secrets,” explained advocacy group China Aid Association (CAA) in a statement to BosNewsLife.

The Christian was reportedly sentenced in November to two years re-education by the Re-education Labor Committee of Hetian City,” his home city. Beijing attorney Zhang Kai was hired by the family to file an appeal, which was finally approved last month.
