Human rights lawyers group condemn CCP's targeting of unregistered house churches with 'fraud' label

Lawyers, human rights activists and religious leaders in China have issued a strong condemnation of the government's labeling of unregistered house churches as fraudulent organizations, decrying the accusations as violations of the right to freedom of religion or belief.
The article from MSN discusses a report by the U.S.-based human rights lawyers group, ChinaAid, which condemns the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for labeling unregistered house churches as fraudulent organizations. According to the report, the CCP has been using accusations of fraud to suppress these religious groups, which operate outside the state-sanctioned religious framework. This tactic includes fining church leaders, freezing church bank accounts, and even arresting members under the guise of combating fraud. The report highlights that these actions not only violate religious freedom but also misuse legal systems to persecute Christians who refuse to join the government-controlled Three-Self Patriotic Movement. ChinaAid calls for international attention to these practices, urging global entities to pressure China to respect religious freedoms and cease the persecution of unregistered religious groups.
