China: Church worker badly beaten by officials.

Sep 20 2012

A church worker was badly injured in a sustained beating by Henan officials investigating his house church as part of a feared nationwide crackdown.
The worker, identified only as Brother Yi, suffered serious injuries to his neck and torso in a two-hour assault during an interrogation by authorities in Gushi county. His 'offence' had been to refuse to leave his house church in Fangli.
Release partner China Aid reports that Brother Yi was summoned for questioning soon after several dozen officials stormed his house church during a Sunday service last month.
