對華援助協會獲悉，2006年5月28日上午11點，河南周口扶溝縣西關馬家廠一家庭教會被衝擊。28位正在聚會的基督徒被公安抓走.當晚釋放23人。6月1日家住韭園鎮謝村的59歲的劉月美姊妹被迫交了1600元罰款後獲釋。6月8日，另一位家住江村鎮常莊村35歲的常新紅承諾回家拿罰款後被釋放。

目前還有三人押在河南扶溝縣八一監獄。他們是：聚會接待家庭女主人陳學蘭,女,58歲;曹淹,女,55歲,住城郊鄉萬崗村.李順民, 男, 52歲, 住曹裡鄉小寨村。

據悉，警方在衝擊該教會時沒有傳喚證，拘留證。沒收了半袋子聖經、筆記本。據悉，當兩個被抓家屬前去看望時，她們被迫交給監獄看門的200元，不繳錢不讓見，沒有收據。

受害教會人士已準備對野蠻執法人員法律訴訟，中國基督徒維權律師團成員李柏光博士和範亞峰博士已經接受受害教會人士的委託擔任該案辯護律師。

對華援助協會呼籲各界良心人士和國際社會關注此案。盡快釋放被關押的無辜教會人士。

Midland, Texas (CAA)-June 8, 2006


CAA learned that a Chinese House church in Henan was raided and 28 Christians were arrested. At 11 am, May 28, during a Christian worship service at a home at Xiguan Ma Jia Chang, Fugou County, the PSB raided the gathering and took 28 church members to the police station. Twenty-three were released later that evening. One Christian lady, 59-year-old Ms. Liu Yuemei, was released June 1, after her family was forced to pay a fine of 1600 Yuan (US $200). Another lady, 35-year-old Ms. Chang Xinhong, was released June 8, after she promised to pay her fine in cash.

Three Christians still remain at Ba-Yi Prison, Fugou County, Henan Province. They are 58-year-old Ms. Chen Xuelan, who hosted the gathering, 55-year-old Ms. Cao Yan, and 52-year-old Pastor. Li Shunmin.

According to those familiar with this case, during the raid, the police produced no ID, summons, or detention papers. Bibles and notebooks belonging to the church members were confiscated by the police and no receipts were issued.

The Christians decided to make a legal appeal and Dr. Li Baiguang and Dr. Fan Yafeng, two members of Chinese Christian Legal Aid Association agreed to be their legal representatives.

CAA urges the Chinese government to release these Christians and to honor their international and Constitutional commitment for religious freedom.
