Follow-Up on the Report “Elderly Christian Arrested for Religious Videos” 

05/30/2018Bitter Winter |

Source: Direct Reports from China
Date: May 30, 2018

On May 23, Bitter Winter reported about seventy-year-old Christian Zhu’s arrest for carrying memory cards that contained religious videos.

Bitter Winter received additional information that Zhu lost her consciousness from high blood pressure during the interrogation in the police station. For fear of taking any responsibility, the police had to send her to the county hospital.

Zhu was arrested on May 2, but it was not until May 15 that her son learned about the incident.

In 1993, the police warned Zhu and fined her because of her Christian belief.

Bitter Winter

Bitter Winter reports on how religions are allowed, or not allowed, to operate in China and how some are severely persecuted after they are labeled as “xie jiao,” or heterodox teachings. We publish news difficult to find elsewhere, analyses, and debates.
Placed under the editorship of Massimo Introvigne, one of the most well-known scholars of religion internationally, “Bitter Winter” is a cooperative enterprise by scholars, human rights activists, and members of religious organizations persecuted in China (some of them have elected, for obvious reasons, to remain anonymous).
