A number of Chinese Christians were injured and needed hospital treatment after they resisted police officers who were ordered to install security cameras in their churches, reports said.

 

The clashes took place in churches in Wenzhou, a city known as “China’s Jerusalem” located in Zhejiang Province, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported on Monday.

China’s communist government reportedly ordered the installation of the surveillance equipment at churches for “anti-terrorism and security purposes.”

 

However, Christians in Wenzhou, who number about a million, said the measure is part of the Communist government’s continued “crackdown on Christianity.”

 

“Government officials came to the churches and put up cameras by force. Some pastors and worshipers who didn’t agree to the move were dragged away,” one Christian told SCMP. “Some people needed to be treated in hospital after fighting the officials.”
