ICC Note:

China has ramped-up a crackdown on “evil cults,” however, many of the victims of the most recent crackdown has been Christians. The number of Christians detained is not yet known. A woman in Yunnan was arrested after walking home from a church service for “using a cult organization to undermine the implementation of the law.” Summer camp leaders were also arrested for “indoctrinating minors with superstitious beliefs.” Christian parents are even subject to disciplinary measures for involving children in Christian activities.

12/27/2016 China (Christian Today) – Chinese authorities have begun a crackdown on “evil cults.” Unfortunately, those who were arrested and accused of being cult members were Christians, the persecution watchdog group China Aid reported.

The arrests were made in October and November, but the exact number of the Christians apprehended by authorities in Yunnan province is not yet known.

“Tu Yan, a woman who began attending churches in Yunnan after she moved there for work, was returning home from a Christian gathering on Oct. 22 when she was apprehended on suspicion of ‘using a cult organisation to undermine the implementation of the law,'” China Aid said in its latest report.
