Xinjiang-CAA
has
learned
that,
the
trial
for
Uyghur
Christian
Alimujiang
Yimiti
commenced
on
May
27
at
10am.
The
trial
lasted
for
6
hours
and
30
minutes.
The
court
recessed
from
1pm
to
4pm
before
resuming.
Mr.
Yimiti
was
allowed
legal
representation
from
two
lawyers
who
were
permitted
to
be
present
during
the
trial.
Mr.
Yimiti’s
wife,
Nuergul,
however
was
prohibited
from
entering
the
courtroom
as
were
members
of
the
media
due
to
the
Government’s
claims
of
the
sensitivity
of
the
case.
At
7:30pm
the
court
reached
a
verdict
that
the
case
be
sent
back
to
the
original
PSB
prosecuters
due
to
"insufficient
evidence"
against
the
accused.
On
Monday
in
Beijing
a US
delegation
led
by
assistant
Secretary
of
State,
David
Kramer
reinstated
human
rights
dialogue
with
the
Chinese
Government.
Mr.
Yimiti’s
case
will
be
one
that
will
be
raised
to
the
Government
officials.
In
an
interview
this
morning
with
CAA’s
President
Bob
Fu,
Mr.
Yimiti’s
wife,
Nuergul,
restated
her
husband’s
innocence
due
to
the
fact
that
he
is
an
agricultural
worker
and
has
no
access
to
state
secrets,
nor
was
he
engaging
in
separatist
activities.
She
pleaded
for
the
early
release
of
her
husband.
She
also
relayed
to
Mr.
Fu
that
her
two
year
old
daughter
points
to
her
father’s
picture
everyday
and
tells
visitors
that
herdad
is
busy
buying
toy
cars
for
her
and
will
return
soon.
Nuergul
thanked
the
many
people
around
the
world
for
their
continual
support
and
prayers
which
have
continued
to
strengthen
her
faith
through
this
difficult
time.
CAA
has
also
learned
from
two
independent
sources
that
the
Ministry
of
Public
Security
has
received
funding
from
the
Chinese
Central
Government
to
increase
their
campaign
of
eradicating
House
Churches
throughout
China.
While
the
amount
of
funds
allocated
for
this
campaign
is
unknown,
the
steady
increase
of
persecution
against
house
churches
continues
to
rise
substantially
across
China.
On
Sunday
May
25,
the
Beijing
Gospel
Church,
home
to
more
than
1000
members
was
raided
by
PSB
Officials.
Pastor
Gao
Zhen
was
detained
and
interrogated
before
being
released
at
6:00pm.
In a
separate
incidence,
a
house
church
Seminary
in
Weifang
City,
Shandong
Province
was
also
raided
by
more
than
30
PSB
and
RAB
Officials.
The
seminary
is
occupied
by
48
students
and
staffed
by 3
teachers.
All
48
students
were
told
to
return
to
their
home-towns
immediately.
Officials
detained
the
staff
members
and
confiscated
Bibles,
computers,
printers
and
the
seminary’s
mini-van.
Authorities
labeled
the
school
and
its
members
as
followers
of
Falun
Gong.

德州美德兰(对华援助协会2008年5月27日)
对华援助协会北京调查员获悉,北京时间5月27日上午10时,维吾尔族基督徒阿里木江案开庭闭门审理,历时6个半小时。期间下午1至4时休庭。庭审时法庭只允许阿里木江的两位律师出庭,而阿里木江的妻子努尔古丽不得出庭。晚上7时30分,法庭宣布该案“证据不足”,退回当地公安机关补充侦查。
据悉当天,以美国助理国务卿David
Kramer为首的美国代表团在北京与中国政府恢复进行人权对话,临去北京前,助理国务卿David
Kramer专门邀请本协会会长傅希秋牧师在美国国务院举行通报会,代表团将向中方官员表达对阿里木江一案的关注。
阿里木江的妻子努尔古丽今天在庭审后接受对华援助协会会长傅希秋先生的电话采访中重申,她的丈夫是无罪的,事实上她丈夫只是一名基督徒农业工作者,既不可能知道国家机密,也没有参与分裂国家的活动。她请求丈夫早日得到释放。通话中,她还告诉傅希秋先生他们两岁的女儿每天指着照片中的阿里木江告诉来访的客人,那是她的爸爸,爸爸正忙着买玩具车给她,很快就会回来。努尔古丽还对全球各地持续支持他们,为他们不断祷告的人们表示感谢,她说最艰难的时候这一切不断坚固她的信心。
另外据两个消息来源,公安部已经收到中央政府的拨款,在全国加大消灭家庭教会活动的力度。虽然不知道款项金额的分配,但对家庭教会打击的实质上持续增加。5月25日,有超过一千信徒的北京福音教会受到警察的冲击,高真牧师被传讯,直至下午6时才被释放。
5月27日,山东潍坊维城区家庭教会神学院被30多名来自潍坊市公安局和宗教事务局的人员冲击,48名学生被强行遣返,3名神学教师,包括40岁的潍坊人校长吕照军。另为两名教师为安丘人张雅各弟兄和金秀香姊妹。期间一名滨州女学生范美玲被殴打,神学院的圣经、电脑、打印机和一台金杯牌面包车被没收。该神学院已经运作了几年,现当局指控他们为法轮功,学院被封。
对华援助协会呼吁中国政府停止借奥运会稳定为名对公民宗教自由权利的践踏.也呼吁国际社会密切关注.
