Chinese Christians Sentenced to Death

Persecution against Christians in China has been on the rise since late last year. One of the recent targets of persecution has been the South China Church, and its founder, Pastor Gong Shengliang. It is believed that Pastor Gong was arrested in Hubei province in August of 2001. However, the case against Pastor Gong came to light only in late December when he was sentenced to death for complicity in rape and leading an evil cult. The date of execution was set for January 5, 2002, but by the grace of God, it was later suspended for a few months so Pastor Gong could appeal his case. Many other adherents of the 50,000 member strong South China Church have also been detained and several, like Pastor Gong, have been sentenced to death for their participation in an "evil cult."

Though not all sources agree on the sentences given to the Chinese Christians, to the best of ICC's knowledge the following people were charged, in addition to Pastor Gong, during a secret trial in Hubei province during December: Hu Yong and Xu Fuming (death), Li Ying and Gong Bangkun (death, suspended for 2 years), Sun Minghua (life imprisonment), Yi Chan-fu (20 years) and Xiao Yanli (18 years). Over 50 other people are said to be detained in addition to those formerly charged. more....... http://www.persecution.org/concern/2002/03/p2.html

Chinese region 'must conduct 20,000 abortions'

A CHINESE county has been ordered to conduct 20,000 abortions and sterilisations before the end of the year after communist family planning chiefs found that the official one-child policy was being routinely flouted.

The impoverished mountainous region of Huaiji has been set the draconian target by provincial authorities in Guangdong (formerly known as Canton).

Although the one-child policy is no longer strictly enforced in many rural areas, officials in Guangdong issued the edict after census officials revealed that the average family in Huaiji has five or more children.

Many of the terminations will have to be conducted forcibly on peasant women to meet the quota. As part of the campaign, county officials are buying expensive ultrasound equipment that can be carried to remote villages by car.

By detecting which women are pregnant, the machines will allow Government doctors to order terminations on the spot.
