CHINA: Physical Abuse and Detention of Pastor “Bike” Zhang’s Family

We are gravely concerned by the brutal beating of Pastor Zhang “Bike” Mingxuan’s two sons by public security officials. We are also deeply concerned by continuing official harassment of Pastor Zhang, a prominent Beijing house church leader, including his arbitrary detention and the forced relocation of his family. We call upon the Government of China immediately to release Pastor Zhang and permit his family members to return home, to condemn the violent acts committed against his sons, and to bring to justice those individuals responsible for such acts.
