[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text el_class=”project-body”]Liang Ziliang, a preacher at Baptist Church in Heshan, Guangdong, was handing out brochures telling about Christianity and carrying banners protesting abortion in a local park along with his wife, Li Yinxiu, and several other church members on June 1 when police started photographing them. That night, Liang and Li were called to the police station, where they were detained as soon as they arrived. For days, no one was able to contact them.<\/p>\n

After their arrest, officers entered their home without a warrant and searched it.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, their family members received two criminal detention notices accusing Liang and Li of violating Article 80 of China\u2019s Criminal Law and organizing and financially supporting illegal gatherings. They are currently being held at the Heshan Municipal Detention Center.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”project-body”]When Christians from other churches visited Baptist Church, which meets in Liang\u2019s home, they found its members in a state of anxiety. According to a local Christian, \u201cLiang Ziliang\u2019s older sister has never dealt with dilemmas like this. She lacks experience. She\u2019s very nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liang\u2019s family has hired two lawyers to represent this case.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to keep in mind that abortion in China doesn\u2019t only refer to voluntary abortion,\u201d Voice of the Martyrs Korea Board chair Hyun Sook Foley explains. \u201cIt is not uncommon for Chinese officials to force a woman to undergo an abortion for political reasons. Arguing against abortion is also arguing against the Chinese government\u2019s use of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Board chair Foley and partner ChinaAid, China has been fighting Christians for control over the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina has passed laws which make it illegal to bring children and young adults to church or teach them about Christianity,\u201d Foley says. \u201cSchools also prohibit the possession of Christian literature and discussion about religious subjects.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”project-body”]In spite of these restrictions, many Christians in China continue to disciple their children.<\/p>\n

\u201c1 Timothy 3:4 tells us that a church leader must manage their families well and this is something which the church in China feels is very important,\u201d Board chair Foley explains. \u201cInstead of pitying our Chinese brothers and sisters, we should learn from them.<\/p>\n
