(Chuxiong, Yunnan – August 1, 2025) On Tuesday, July 30, Pastor Pu Jinshun, Elder Zhu Zhengwu, and several co-workers from the Lingshan Church in Chuxiong, Yunnan, were subjected to compulsory enforcement measures by Chuxiong Public Security and are currently being held at the Chuxiong Detention Center. The authorities have yet to provide the relevant departments or defense lawyers with a complete indictment. The specific charges involved have not been made public and await official announcement. 

According to sources, Pastor Pu Jinshun and Elder Zhu Zhengwu, along with his wife, were taken from their residences in Suzhou. They had just returned to Suzhou in June for a family visit. The two have ministered in Chuxiong for 23 years. In recent years, due to government pressure, the church has been unable to use its purchased office building as a meeting place. In May of this year, police conducted a raid on one of the church’s small groups and interrogated relevant members, followed by the arrests of church members that began in July. Christian human rights lawyers are now involved in the case. 

ChinaAid will continue to investigate developments of the case and provide timely updates as information becomes publicly available.
