“Faith Is Not a Crime”
Shu Qiong and Chen Yan, members of Chengdu’s Early Rain Covenant Church, recently held signs publicly calling for imprisoned Pastor Wang Yi to receive family visits in accordance with Chinese law. One sign declared, “Faith is not a crime.”
Wang was arrested in December 2018 and later sentenced to nine years in prison. In an Oct. 3 statement, his church said family members have visited him fewer than five times, while normal correspondence and telephone contact remain severely restricted.
The appeal followed renewed concerns about Wang’s health, although reports of a serious illness remain unverified. Church members have urged authorities to provide accurate medical information and uphold his family’s legal rights to visitation and communication.
