.- After being detained for more than 32 days, four Catholics of the underground Church in China in the province of Xinjang were recently released by the government.
According to the China Aid Association, which works for freedom of religion in China, the four Catholics were freed after having been tortured by their guards and cellmates.
On the same day that they were released, the Office of Religious Affairs closed down a domestic church in Anhui, after threatening to impose “grave consequences” on hundreds of underground Catholics who meet there.
