We are alarmed at the increasing restrictions on religious freedom in China and appeal to you to change your government’s policy and to revise all religious regulations and legislation to ensure they align with the right of all people in China to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, in accordance with Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
We are deeply concerned for our many Christian brothers and sisters who face ongoing restrictions and harassment because of their expression of their Christian faith and we particularly wish to express our deep concern for the many pastors who have been imprisoned by your government. We appeal for their immediate release.
