Chinese communist gangs severely beat Christians for resisting destruction of officially registered churchLorraine Caballero 08 January, 2017 Communist gangs hired by authorities severely beat several Christians in Hebei province in China after they resisted the destruction of an officially registered church.(REUTERS / Thomas Pete)People attend Sunday service at a makeshift, tin-roofed church in Youtong village, Hebei Province, China, December 11, 2016.Local officials and land developers reportedly worked together to push state-run congregation Fuxing Church into leaving the building it is using for its meetings and to sign a land transfer deal. A church elder named Han said they were open to moving to another location, but the compensation offered to them was less than the value of the property, China Aid relays.AdvertisementAccording to Han, the church bought the former school building in 2002 for 3 million Yuan ($362,319 at the time), but the Communist Party only offered them less than 2 million Yuan (currently $289,080) for it. Fuxing Church refused to sign the land deal because the property's current value should already be more than 15 million Yuan ($2.17 million).Continued: http://www.christiandaily.com/article/chinese-communist-gangs-severely-beat-christians-for-resisting-destruction-of-officially-registered-church/59754.htm
