Christians in China detained

CHINESE police detained at least a dozen Christians belonging to an unregistered Beijing church as they gathered to hold Easter services.

Police stopped the worshippers from the unregistered Shouwang church as they gathered near a public plaza, then took them to a local police station.

Shouwang members have been trying to meet in Beijing’s Haidian district every Sunday after being evicted from their usual place of worship three weeks ago.
