Chinese police raid village gathering, arrest 200 Christians
Chinese Police recently raided a gathering of Christian villagers and arrested at least 200 people for allegedly joining a church that refused to abide by a theological doctrine promoted by a state-sanctioned body, media reports said.
The incident reportedly occurred in Heilongjiang Province.
The arrested people are believed to be part of Sola Fide or “Justification by Faith” network.
Local believers told Bitter Winer that they saw a suspicious car parked nearby two days before the raid. The car came very early in the morning and left late at night.
About 150 officers on January 27 raided the gathering place.
The arrested people were reportedly removed from the spot in buses and cars.
It is still not clear where they have been taken.
“Even when they arrest criminals, we have never seen so many police officers,” a villager told UCA News.
