Story number 3 for 28 Apr 2000

Voice of the Martyrs is reporting that after 15 days of imprisonment, Chinese authorities have now released evangelist Li-Dexian. Despite his treatment, VOM says he is weak but recovering and in good spirits. The evangelist continues to preach at an unregistered house church and authorities regularly arrest him in hopes of forcing him to stop. The treatment by his captors has also intensified. The Public Security Bureau recently visited the house church and told members to officially register or stop meeting.
