Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Written Evidence


Written evidence submitted by Reverend William Parkinson

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IN COMMUNIST CHINA

  Thank you for your interest in Christian persecution. At this moment, tens of thousands of innocent Christians are behind bars in China, some of them in death rows.

  I think Reverend Parkinson, who is in hospital right now, has sent you the following email last Christmas. This year the U.S. Congress has criticized Chinese government for cracking down on churches but it was ignored and the situation has worsened.

  We strongly believe more efforts should be done to stop China from killing innocent Christians and we are doing our best to draw people's attention.

  I hope you would also take action to save innocent people waiting for help behind bars.

  God bless you all to have a nice Christmas.

Ken Kato on behalf of Reverend William Parkinson
