Chinese authorities have begun a crackdown on “evil cults.” Unfortunately, those who were arrested and accused of being cult members were Christians, the persecution watchdog group China Aid reported.

 

The arrests were made in October and November, but the exact number of the Christians apprehended by authorities in Yunnan province is not yet known.

 

“Tu Yan, a woman who began attending churches in Yunnan after she moved there for work, was returning home from a Christian gathering on Oct. 22 when she was apprehended on suspicion of ‘using a cult organisation to undermine the implementation of the law,'” China Aid said in its latest report.

 

The woman was apparently released, but was re-arrested a month later on the same charge. Authorities accused her of being the “backbone of evil cults and organising three meetings on behalf of these institutions.”
