MIDLAND, Texas, Nov. 29 /Christian Newswire/ -- China Aid Association learned that three controversial church leaders were executed secretly sometime last week.

 

According to Mr. Li Maoxing's wife, she was asked by the Intermediate Court of Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang province at 2:30pm on November 28 (Beijing time) to collect her husband's ashes at the court as soon as possible. According to attorney Li Heping who is the defense lawyer for  Mr. Xu Shuangfu, the founder of the Three Grade Servant church group,  Mr. Xu, Mr. Li Maoxing and Mr. Wang Jun were already executed secretly sometime last week. Neither of their attorneys nor any of their relatives was informed in advance about the execution. The Defense team for the three executed argued that there is no evidence to prove Xu and the other two church leaders were directly involved or took part in organizing and abetting the murder of the members of the Eastern Lightening religious group.

 

Attorney Li Heping told CAA that he was deeply disturbed by the secret arbitrary execution without even notifying the family members of the executed in advance. CAA confirms that so far 15 individual believers and leaders had been executed in related to this case.

 

"We are completely shocked by this news" said Rev. Bob Fu, the president of CAA, "the arbitrary execution certainly shows the Chinese central government is totally ignoring the rule of law. The local government is clearly engaging cover-up the evidence of torture by secret cremating the inmates' bodies. We appeal to the Supreme People's Court to launch independent investigation on this case."
