7月17日，王林、尹会彬、高颖佳、王聪、吴秋雨、汪中、林书铖、刘桢彬8位锡安的牧者同工，在辩护律师未获任何通知的情况下，被起诉至北海市银海区人民法院。这是公然的违法行为！

On July 17, without any prior notification to the defense lawyers, the case was formally indicted at the Beihai City Yinhai District People’s Court.

详情如下：

北京锡安教会“10·9”教案至今已进入第286天。

自2025年10月9日起，共有23位牧者及同工被羁押。目前，其中14位已取保候审，1位获检察机关决定不起诉并释放。截至今日，仍有8位牧者及同工被羁押于广西北海市第一、第二看守所，涉嫌“诈骗罪”及/或“非法经营罪”。案件已于2026年6月18日移送北海市银海区人民检察院审查起诉，并于7月17日在辩护律师毫不知情的情况下，被起诉至北海市银海区人民法院。

根据《人民检察院刑事诉讼规则》第二百六十一条规定：

办理审查起诉案件，应当听取辩护人或者值班律师、被害人以及诉讼代理人的意见，并制作笔录。辩护人或者值班律师、被害人及其诉讼代理人提出书面意见的，应当附卷。

《人民检察院刑事诉讼规则》第二百六十二条进一步规定，对于听取辩护人意见存在困难的，应当积极采取措施予以完成；确因客观原因无法听取的，应当将相关情况记录在案。

然而，本案承办检察官在未依法履行上述法定程序、未听取辩护律师意见的情况下，即将案件移送人民法院审判。该做法明显违反了《人民检察院刑事诉讼规则》的明确规定，严重损害了犯罪嫌疑人依法享有的辩护权利和诉讼权利。

案件近况
1、7月3日，金明日牧师已赴美国，与家人团聚。
2、7月17日，王林、尹会彬、高颖佳、王聪、吴秋雨、汪中、林书铖、刘桢彬等8位牧者同工，在辩护律师未获任何通知的情况下，被起诉至北海市银海区人民法院。
3、北海目前持续高温高湿。羁押人员长期居住于约四十平方米、容纳三十余人的监室内，居住环境拥挤，已有多人出现严重痱子、湿疹等症状。
4、部分患有严重疾病的牧者同工至今仍未获得必要的药物和医疗救治；申请营养餐亦遭拒绝，身体状况持续恶化。
5、8位牧者同工长期营养不足，普遍出现明显消瘦，健康状况令人担忧。
6、被羁押牧者同工依法享有的通信权利持续受到限制。

代祷事项
1、求神带领所有参与办理本案的专案组人员、看守所工作人员，以及公安、检察、法院、司法行政机关、监督部门和相关上级机关，使他们存敬畏之心，尊重国家宪法和法律，依法、公平、公正地对待8位被羁押的牧者同工。
2、求神亲自看顾8位牧者同工的身体，医治他们一切的疾病和软弱。
3、求神赐下但以理所得的恩典，使8位牧者同工即便在营养不足的环境中，仍蒙神保守，身体强健，面色红润，满有从神而来的智慧和力量。
4、求神坚固律师团队的信心和力量，保守他们手中的工作，也眷顾他们的家人，使他们免受一切搅扰。
5、求神看顾每一位家属和孩子每日的生活，亲自安慰他们，擦去他们一切的眼泪，担当他们的重担，赐下平安与喜乐。
6、求神在媒体领域开道路，使公平、真实、自由的声音能够被更多人听见，也除去谎言和蒙蔽。
7、求神按着祂的旨意，早日释放祂的仆人使女，使他们能够平安回到家人与教会当中。

我们谴责一切违反法治原则、损害公民合法权利的行为，呼吁有关机关切实尊重宪法和法律所赋予公民的各项权利，依法办案、公正司法。

我们也继续迫切祷告，惟愿“公平如大水滚滚，使公义如江河滔滔。”（阿摩司书5:24）愿光明胜过黑暗，愿公义与良善彰显于这地。

北京锡安教会“10·9”教案被羁押牧者同工家属团

2026年7月21日

The Beijing Zion Church “10·9” case has now entered its 286th day.

Since October 9, 2025, a total of 23 pastors and church workers have been detained. As of today, 14 have been released on bail, and 1 has been released after the procuratorate decided not to prosecute. 8 pastors and church workers remain detained in Beihai City No. 1 and No. 2 Detention Centers in Guangxi, charged with “fraud” and/or “illegal business operations.”

The case was transferred to the Beihai City Yinhai District People’s Procuratorate for review and prosecution on June 18, 2026. On July 17, without any prior notification to the defense lawyers, the case was formally indicted at the Beihai City Yinhai District People’s Court.

According to Article 261 of the People’s Procuratorate Criminal Procedure Rules:

When handling a case for review and prosecution, the opinions of the defender, duty lawyer, victim, and litigation representative shall be heard and recorded. Written opinions submitted by the defender, duty lawyer, victim, or their litigation representative shall be attached to the case file.

Article 262 further stipulates that if it is difficult to hear the defender’s opinions, active measures shall be taken to do so; if it is genuinely impossible due to objective reasons, the circumstances shall be documented.

However, the prosecutor handling this case transferred it to the court for trial without fulfilling these mandatory legal procedures or hearing the defense lawyers’ opinions. This action clearly violates the explicit provisions of the People’s Procuratorate Criminal Procedure Rules and seriously infringes upon the criminal suspects’ lawful rights to defense and due process.

Recent Developments

1 On July 3, Pastor Jin Mingri was released to the United States and reunited with his family.

2 On July 17, eight pastors and church workers — Wang Lin, Yin Huibin, Gao Yingjia, Wang Cong, Wu Qiuyu, Wang Zhong, Lin Shucheng, and Liu Zhenbin — were indicted at the Beihai City Yinhai District People’s Court without any notice being given to their defense lawyers.

3 Beihai is currently experiencing sustained high temperatures and humidity. The detainees are held in overcrowded cells of approximately 40 square meters containing more than 30 people. Many have developed severe heat rash, eczema, and other skin conditions.

4 Some pastors and workers with serious pre-existing medical conditions have still not received necessary medication or medical treatment. Requests for nutritious meals have been denied, and their health continues to deteriorate.

5 The eight detained pastors and workers suffer from long-term malnutrition and visible weight loss; their health is a serious concern.

6 Their legally entitled right to communication continues to be restricted.

Prayer Requests

1 Pray that God would lead all personnel involved in handling this case — including the special task force, detention center staff, and personnel in public security, procuratorial, court, judicial administration, supervisory departments, and relevant higher authorities — to have a heart of reverence, respect the national Constitution and laws, and treat the eight detained pastors and workers fairly, justly, and in accordance with the law.

2 Pray that God would personally watch over the physical health of the eight pastors and workers, healing all their illnesses and weaknesses.

3 Pray that God would grant them the same grace given to Daniel, so that even in a nutritionally deficient environment, they would be preserved by God — strong in body, with healthy complexions, and filled with wisdom and strength from the Lord.

4 Pray that God would strengthen the faith and strength of the legal defense team, protect their work, and watch over their families, shielding them from all disturbances.

5 Pray that God would care for every family member and child in their daily lives, personally comfort them, wipe away all their tears, carry their heavy burdens, and grant them peace and joy.

6 Pray that God would open doors in the media realm so that voices of fairness, truth, and freedom can be heard by more people, and that lies and deception would be removed.

7 Pray that, according to His will, God would soon release His servants and handmaidens, allowing them to return safely to their families and the church.
We condemn all actions that violate the rule of law and infringe upon citizens’ legitimate rights. We call on the relevant authorities to earnestly respect the rights granted to citizens by the Constitution and laws, and to handle cases lawfully and with judicial fairness.

We continue to pray urgently, longing for the fulfillment of God’s word:“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5:24)

May light overcome darkness, and may justice and goodness be revealed in this land.
