ICC Note:
ICC recently released several articles about two Christians imprisoned in China, Jiang Tianyong and Tang Jingling. We talked with their wives to learn about the reality of living in China as a Christian, including their fight to gain their husbands’ release. It is encouraging to see Senator Rubio fight for religious freedom on Capitol Hill and we hope that China will take immediate steps to release Jiang and Tang.    
2/13/2017 China (Christianity Today) – Donald Trump’s one-time rival for Presidential nominee has used his role on the Senate to speak against China’s ongoing persecution of Christians.
The Florida senator highlighted the cases of two detained human rights attorneys, Jiang Tianyong and Tang Jingling.
Jiang’s wife last heard from him almost four months ago when he disappeared after visiting another lawyer who had been jailed. He boarded a train home on November 21 but never arrived, according to persecution charity China Aid.
Officials later announced he was being held at a undisclosed location and has not been allowed visits from his lawyer or family since.
