BREAKING: Chinese police in Chengdu raided a Sunday worship service at the well-known Early Rain Covenant Church on June 14, detaining multiple elders, church members, and even children. According to witnesses, around 50–60 police officers and officials stormed the gathering, recorded attendees’ IDs, and transported worshippers to local police stations using buses and police vehicles. The whereabouts of many detainees remain unclear. Early Rain Covenant Church has faced years of persecution since a major crackdown in 2018. Its pastor, Wang Yi, was sentenced to 9 years in prison in 2019 after criticizing restrictions on religious freedom and defending church independence from state control.
