| Update: Pastor Zhang Mingxuan accused of "illegal business operations" |

| November 26, 2008 | |
Pastor Zhang "Bike" Mingxuan, a house church leader who has been under fire from authorities along with his family in recent weeks (click here for more information), has been accused of engaging in "illegal business operations," according to a November 25 report from China Aid Association. During Pastor Zhang's detention last month, authorities interrogated him about his involvement in distributing silicon prayer bands during the Olympic Games, which authorities consider a "nationally politically sensitive item." Pastor Zhang, who has been in Beijing since October 31, has been forbidden from renting a residence or staying in hotels in the city and authorities continue to try to intimidate and discredit him.
