Both were taken to the local police station at 7 o’clock on May 1, 2008.
According to China Aid Association, security officials also confiscated a video camera, books, a washing machine, comforters, and food supplies belonging to the Daqing Church. All of the aforementioned items were taken without proper and legal documentation.
CAA says that on May 4, 66 year-old Guo Jingtian, pastor of Arong Zhen Ge Er church of Yadong town, Inner Mongolia, was summoned to the Local Security Bureau and charged with holding an “illegal religious meeting.” Security officials have sealed the church and prohibited the building to be used for meetings.
