‼️Urgent update: Case of the other 8 Zion Church leaders ("Zion 8") have been sent to court with the Pretrial meeting scheduled for August 10; Court date: August 14-18 Many believe this is an attempt to rush an outcome before Chairman Xi visits Washington in September. We argue that the continual persecution and imprisonment of the other 8 directly goes against the good will established with the release of my father, Pastor Ezra Jin. Please continue to pray and speak out for these pastors and church leaders! #FreeZion8# #FreePastorsinChina# #锡安109教案# 紧急更新‼️另外8名锡安教会领袖（“锡安八人”）的案件已移送法院，庭前会议定于8月10日召开；开庭日期：8月14日至18日。 许多人认为，这是企图在习主席9月访问华盛顿之前仓促定案。我们认为，对其余8人的持续迫害与监禁，直接违背了因释放我父亲，金明日牧师，而建立的善意。请继续为这些牧师和教会领袖祷告并发声！​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 请大家持续关注： 8月10日开庭前会议 8月14-18日开庭

Vozinha, the Cape Verde goalkeeper who helped his team hold its own against soccer heavyweights during the World Cup, says that getting to share his team’s talents on the world stage is “the best thing that can happen.” Vozinha shares about playing with passion, how becoming a global sensation has changed his life and what’s next for him as a free agent: “I want to play.”

Police in Hong Kong arrested five booksellers over alleged “seditious” material, as Beijing imposes increasingly strict control over the once-autonomous territory in successive free speech crackdowns.

China is totalitarian, not just authoritarian, because the Chinese Communist Party seeks to control all elements of society, even if certain types of decisions are delegated to local Party cadres.

Arrived in #Perugia# for the International Journalism Festival. Today I spoke at a closed-door session on impact and business models, and shared stories about Dasheng’s audience. On Friday, I’ll join a public panel with journalists from Russia and Iran — three countries especially well known for making life easy for journalists. Join us in person or online :) 到了佩鲁贾，参加国际新闻节。 今天先参加了一个闭门讨论，谈 impact 和 business model，也分享了一些大声观众的故事。 周五我还会参加一场公开 panel，和来自俄罗斯、伊朗的记者同台。也许这是第一次有来自这三个国家的记者坐在同一个 panel 上。 欢迎来现场，或者线上参加 :)
