After learning what happened to his church and his vocational school, Pastor Hua was returning home from ‘forced vacation’ in Shanxi, when five PSB officers immediately surrounded his apartment home.”
— “Around 5:00 PM he was invited to go out to dinner at a restaurant, to talk about the last Sunday’s incident at the vocational school (View details from the Tent-Making Ministry Raid). About half an hour later, his wife, evangelist Ju Mei, received a phone call from Hua. Secretly from his cell phone, Hua told her that he had been forced into a PSB car on the highway. Before 6:00 PM, Hua called his wife again, and said he was taken to an unknown location by a group of PSB officers. The phone went dead, and the family members lost contact with him.
— “At approximately 10:20 PM, a Beijing PSB officer named Ding Xu went to Hua’s home to pick up some clothes for Hua. When Ju Mei asked him what had happened to her husband, and whether he was dead or alive, Officer Ding Xu refused to answer. He reportedly pointed to his police badge and said, ‘Don’t you know who I am? I have no obligation to answer your questions!'”
— “ChinaAid President Bob Fu called the Director of the Domestic Security Protection Squad of PSB of Fengtai District of Beijing this morning, at 7:00 AM CST, inquiring about Pastor Hua’s status. The Director confirmed that Hua is still in their custody but refused to reveal his condition and whereabouts.”
