China Frees Pastor
China released a jailed pastor after Trump raised the case with Xi Jinping.
Summary
A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.
Ezra Jin Mingri, founder of Beijing’s underground Zion Church, was released from prison in China and arrived in Los Angeles on July 3, reuniting with his wife, daughter and son-in-law after 266 days in custody. Jin was detained in October with 17 other Zion Church leaders during a nationwide sweep targeting the church. His release came less than two months after President Donald Trump raised Jin’s case directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
