Lawyer Wen Donghai: One year after the Zion case, eight pastors remain in pretrial detention on suspicion of fraud and illegal business operations
One year after the Zion case, of the nearly 20 pastors who were arrested, some were released on bail and some went abroad. The remaining eight pastors, including Wang Cong, Wang Lin, Gao Yingjia and Yin Huibin, remain in pretrial detention on suspicion of fraud and illegal business operations. Yet the People’s Procuratorate of Yinhai District, Beihai, faced with more than 300 case files and a large number of discs, did not conduct a serious review or hear the views of defense lawyers and defendants, and hastily filed the case with the court within a month. Strangely, once the case reached the court, no trial or pretrial conference was held, and no one raised procedural or evidentiary issues in any formal court proceeding. The procuratorate then acknowledged that the evidence was insufficient and recommended that the court adjourn the trial for supplementary investigation. Since they knew the evidence was insufficient yet still forced through a hasty prosecution, this was a deliberate attempt to frame them and secure convictions. For this reason, on November 9, 2026, the families’ representatives visited the People’s Procuratorate of Yinhai District, the Beihai Municipal People’s Procuratorate and the Beihai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision regarding the conduct of the case handlers at the Yinhai District Procuratorate.
