(Worthy News) – Chinese police have detained more than 100 Christians, including minors, for attending unauthorized worship and Christian education in southeastern China, several sources confirmed.
Most were reportedly detained on April 17 when security forces raided one of the services of the non-registered Xunsiding Church congregation.
The raid happened during a church service in the Pacific Rim Hotel in Xiamen, said advocacy group ChinaAid, which represents the believers.
More than 100 Christians were detained in a single room “with no access to a restroom,” ChinaAid explained. Each participant was questioned, identified, and photographed before they were finally released, Christians said.
