北京锡安教会“10·9”教案近况更新
ZCT 4/16/2026
北京锡安教会“10·9”教案中被羁押的18牧者同工，以“涉嫌非法利用信息网络罪”仍被关押于广西北海市第一、第二看守所，至今已进入第188天。
1、至今六个多月来，家属始终未获得对案件的明确答复，知情权得不到保障。今天律师致电银海区检察院案管部门询问，得到的回复是案件再次延期两个月。根据法律规定，重大案件可申请调查取证延期，目前已进入延期阶段的第七个月，但我们至今未收到任何书面正式通知。
三月底，被羁押人员曾从办案人员口中获悉已进入“最后提审”阶段，具体情况并不明了。
目前，被羁押人员中健康状况严重者仍未获得有效治疗保障。天气炎热，营养不良，加之住宿环境恶劣，情况令人担忧。
2、三月下旬，关押在第二看守所的部分姊妹收到圣经。但由于辩护律师持续遭受非法打压，正常会面得不到保障，我们无法获得全面、及时的信息反馈。
3、部分被羁押牧者家中年迈的父母，受到有关部门的上门骚扰与威胁，导致老人受到惊吓，健康及心灵状况堪忧。
4、部分被羁押牧者的妻子及年幼子女，遭遇数名身份不明人员突然闯入家中威胁，要求不允许随便外出，如需外出必须上报属地派出所。
5、为我们亲人提供法律援助的律师团队，继续遭受极其恶劣的打压。每一位律师均不同程度地面临调查、年检抽查、约谈、警告处分，甚至被迫停业、吊销、注销律师执照等威胁。
6、亲朋好友为被羁押牧者同工邮寄的明信片及书籍被陆续退回，羁押人员的通信权利遭到践踏。
我们强烈谴责一切违背宪法和法律的行径，呼吁切实尊重国家宪法和法律赋予公民的权利。
我们也继续为我们无辜的家人被无罪释放迫切祷告。
惟愿公平如大水滔滔，公义如江河滚滚，愿光明与良善在这地上得以彰显。

Zion Church Case Postponed Once Again

Update on the Beijing Zion Church “October 9” Case
ZCT 4/16/2026
The 18 pastors and staff members detained in the Beijing Zion Church “October 9” case remain imprisoned in the First and Second Detention Centers of Beihai City, Guangxi, on charges of “illegal use of information networks.” They have now been detained for 188 days.
1. For more than six months, family members have not received a clear response regarding the case, and their right to information has not been guaranteed. Today, when a lawyer contacted the case management department of the Yinhai District Procuratorate to inquire, the response was that the case has been extended for another two months. According to legal provisions, extensions for investigation and evidence collection may be requested for major cases. The case has now entered its seventh month of extension, yet we have not received any formal written notification to date.
In late March, the detainees were informed by case handlers that the case had entered the “final interrogation” stage, though the specific details remain unclear.
Currently, some of the detainees in serious health condition have still not received effective medical care. With the hot weather, malnutrition, and poor living conditions, their situation is cause for grave concern.
2. In late March, some of the sisters detained at the Second Detention Center received Bibles. However, due to the ongoing illegal suppression of defense attorneys, normal visitation rights are not guaranteed, and we are unable to obtain comprehensive and timely updates.
3. The elderly parents of some detained pastors have been subjected to home visits by relevant authorities, who have harassed and threatened them. This has caused the elderly to be frightened, and their physical and mental health is a cause for concern.
4. The wives and young children of some detained pastors have been subjected to sudden home invasions by several unidentified individuals who threatened them, demanding that they not go out without permission and that they report to the local police station if they need to leave the house.
5. The team of lawyers providing legal assistance to our loved ones continues to face extremely severe suppression. Every lawyer is facing, to varying degrees, investigations, random annual inspections, summonses for questioning, disciplinary warnings, and even threats of forced suspension, revocation, or cancellation of their law licenses.
6. Postcards and books mailed by relatives and friends to the detained pastors and their colleagues have been systematically returned, and the detainees’ right to correspondence has been trampled upon.
We strongly condemn all actions that violate the Constitution and the law, and we call for the genuine respect of the rights granted to citizens by the national Constitution and laws.
We also continue to pray earnestly for the innocent release of our family members.
May justice flow like a mighty flood, and righteousness like a surging river; may light and goodness be revealed on this earth.
