- Prosecutors at Zion Church in Ezra Jin Mingri’s case said that the connection between him and China is that he brought about the rule of law in the United States, according to the indictment.
- The court found that Ezra Jin Mingri, in the course of his work in China, had violated the law by publishing a video in which he said that the world is controlled by the devil.
- The indictment states that the reason for Ezra Jin’s arrest was the official comment made by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Prosecutor at Zion Church Ezra Jin Mingri (Ezra Jin Mingri) said that the connection between him and China is that he brought about the rule of law in the United States. Frances Hui from the Committee for Freedom at the Hong Kong Foundation said that he was arrested in Los Angeles.
The court’s decision also says that the charges are not about anything else: as the indictment states, the U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the arrest of Ezra Jin Mingri in China for religious reasons. The court also cites Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, according to which the photo of the pastor was taken on the basis of the religious group.
According to BBC, Jin (as Ezra Jin) was sentenced to life for non-violent actions that, according to the indictment, were carried out by the religious group in the country. The indictment states that the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not make an official comment about this.
In its turn, as The Guardian and CNN report, they say that the charges that Trump’s administration and its team brought against him were based on the religious group. According to the statement from Grace Jin Drexel, the pastor’s wife, the charges are that the sign of anti-religious sentiment was used for the arrest of the husband in China.
According to BBC, ChinaAid reported that Ezra Jin was arrested in Los Angeles. It also states that, in China, he is being held in connection with his religious activities, with his wife and relatives in Zion Church, and with ChinaAid.
