ChinaAid warns jailed pastor Wang Yi may have advanced liver cancer

ChinaAid founder Bob Fu says reports that imprisoned Chengdu pastor Wang Yi has advanced liver cancer are credible but unverified, as his family has been denied a new visit and independent medical access. Wang has served nearly eight years of a nine-year sentence for leading an independent church outside state-regulated religion, and Beijing's embassy offered no information on his case. The case illustrates the continuing pressure on Christians who refuse state control of their faith, a pattern Jesus described when he warned that his followers would be hated and handed over for his name's sake.
