House church minister Hua Huiqi and his mother were attacked and wounded in Beijing in the morning of January 26, 2007. Hua is well-known in assisting fellow citizens to plead for their legal rights.

According to Mr. Hua's wife Wei Jumei, seven police officers attacked both Hua and his 76 year old mother while they were walking nearby a 2008 Olympic hotel site at about 8am of January 26. The policemen kicked them and took them away to the Olympic Police Station for questioning.

As Hua asked the police to explain the legal ground for the detention and release his mother who was sick, he was beaten up repeatedly and poured over with cold water (it was about 20 degrees in Beijing). Wet through and  trembling Hua was taken away to a detention center.

On 27th, Hua's wife was told by the police over the phone that Hua had been sentenced for one month of criminal detention. None of Hua's family members has received any official notice yet regarding Hua's detention so far.

Hua and his wife are very active house church Christians in Beijing. They have been assisting lots of persecuted Christians and oppressed peasants who travel to Beijing from other parts of the country to seek justice from the central government.

We urge the Chinese government to immediately release Hua and his mother.
