A religious freedom advocacy group has called on the international community to put pressure on China to respect the rule of law after the destruction of an unofficial Protestant church in the country's Shanxi province.
Hundreds of people in uniforms and civilians clothes raided the church in Fushan County in central China on 13 September after local authorities claimed it was housed in an illegally constructed building, and was not a church, the Texas-based group ChinaAid said.
ChinaAid claimed that the local authorities had mobilised about 400 uniformed police and other hired attackers to demolish the new church building, which was located at a shoe and clothing factory.
