(Zizhou County, Shaanxi—Dec. 23, 2013) The families of four believers detained in Zizhou County in China’s inland Shaanxi province have received detention notices, charging the Christians with “organizing and using an evil cult to obstruct the law.”
The believers, Jiang Mao, Feng Tiandong, Zhang Baolin and a 70-year-old gentleman, were part of a group from the Zhenzizhou Church in Zizhou County who visited their local Public Security Bureau on Nov. 15 (corrected on Dec. 24) to ask officials why they intended to detain Feng, a pastor at the church (https://chinaaid.org/2013/12/house-churches-across-china-experience.html).

Both Feng and Jiang’s wives are working to secure legal aid for their husbands. Jiang’s daughter released a statement about her father’s detainment and the family’s home situation without Jiang (https://chinaaid.org/2013/12/christian-father-detained-for-unknown.html).
ChinaAid will continue to monitor the developments in Zizhou and update the story as more information becomes available.
