China Releases Underground Church Leader Ezra Jin Following US Diplomatic Pressure
China released Pastor Ezra Jin, the founder of the prominent underground Zion Church, from prison after months of detention. Jin, also known as Jin Mingri, was freed following diplomatic pressure from the United States. His incarceration was reportedly raised by President Donald Trump during a recent visit to Beijing.
After his release, the founder of the underground church traveled to the United States. He has since reunited with his family in the U.S. following a crackdown on religious organizations in China that began last October.
