Welcome to our latest edition of China Voices, a quarterly update on freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) in China.
From April to June 2023, CSW recorded 101 incidents of violations affecting religious or belief groups throughout China. Cases included in this update highlight how religious leaders who refuse to ‘follow the Party’ have been victimised, physically or mentally through the use of surveillance, house arrest, censorship, defamation, harassment, ideological ‘re-education’, detention and imprisonment, including life imprisonment.
