Chinese Officials Apologise for Confiscating House Church Items

Chinese officials have buckled under international pressure and reportedly apologised and returned all the items it had confiscated from two house church pastors in an east coast province in China on Friday.

The Public Security Bureau in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, told Pastors Cui Chengnan and Liu Riguo that international pressure and the fear of negative impact on foreign investment in the area have caused them to return the items, according to China Aid Association, whose report has been credited for sparking the pressure.

Officials also reportedly apologised to the church privately and even pledged to reimburse the cost of the church pew and offering box damaged during the PSB raid.
