Hua Huiqi, a Beijing house church leader, was released on July 26 after serving six months in prison, according to China Aid Association. Hua was detained on January 26 and formally charged on June 4 (follow links here for more details).

Last week's Persecution & Prayer Alert reported on the detention of fifteen Chinese Christians
(click here for more details). CAA reports that eleven of them have been released following international pressure. The four from Inner Mongolia remain incarcerated.

Praise God for those who have been released. Continue to pray for strength and courage for those who are being held in prison because of their faith in Christ. Please remember to pray for Hua's mother, Shuang Shuying (77) who remains in prison and in poor health.
