(Linzhi, Tibet – February 14, 2025) It is reported that on December 25, 2024, the Bayi District Procuratorate in Linzhi City, Tibet, filed a prosecution against ten Christians – Yao Xilin, Zhang Wei, Ren Xiaoyun, Wang Haiying, Li Chunjie, Qin Chenglan, Li Xiaolin, Xiao Mingzhi, Wang Ying, and Li Yan – on suspicion of sabotaging the enforcement of laws by organizing and utilizing cult organizations.

The reason given is that they publicly preached Christian doctrines such as everyone being sinful and needing to confess and repent. It is understood that some of these Christians have been serving in the Tibetan region for many years.

In the highlands, they have endured countless hardships, and even when they were previously unable to have three meals a day, they were still willing to devote their time and energy to missionary work in the area. Currently, there is only one Catholic church in the entire Tibet region, with no officially permitted Christian churches. 

Similar cases of persecuting Christians under similar charges have recently occurred in Suzhou (Hubei Province) and Xinyang (Henan Province).
