Foreign governments and human rights groups have condemned the arrest of leaders of one of China’s largest underground Christian churches at a time of growing tension between Washington and Beijing.
The US and Germany have called for the release of 30 pastors of the Zion Church, including its founder, Jin Mingri, known as Ezra Jin. He was arrested on Saturday, seven years after the authorities imposed travel restrictions that have prevented him from visiting his family, who live in exile in the US.
