Pastor Wang Yi's Family Denied Visitation in Chengdu Church Case
Original: Chengdu Early Rain Church: Pastor Wang Yi’s Family Denied Visitation Rights; Elder Li Yingqiang and Two Others Denied Access to Bibles
Family members of detained pastor Wang Yi of Chengdu's Early Rain Covenant Church have been denied visitation rights, while elder Li Yingqiang and two other church members have been refused access to Bibles while in detention. The restrictions add to concerns over the treatment of members of the unregistered church, which faced a major crackdown in December 2018. Rights groups say the measures target religious practice behind bars.
Why now: Ongoing restrictions on detained Early Rain Church members continue to draw attention to religious persecution in China.
