03/06/2013 China (ChinaAid) – A house church pastor who traveled to northeast China to visit another house church pastor injured in a beating last month by government officials was held in his hotel room on Wednesday and barred from visiting the wounded clergy.
Pastor Zhan Gang, vice president of the Chinese House Church Alliance, traveled from coastal Shandong province to Yichun to visit Pastor Sun Wenxian, who had been badly beaten by local officials and was hospitalized.
