Shouters

"Shouters" in Smuggling Case Say They Are Not A "Cult" / China

Underground Christians in Fujian province yesterday challenged the legal basis of the mainland's prosecution of a Hong Kong man and two mainlanders for trying to smuggle Bibles to them. The followers of the "Shouters" claim they are not a cult — as they have been described by the mainland Government — and insist that the Bibles they were trying to obtain could not be called "cult material." They also said they should not be called Shouters as they had stopped their practice of shouting out their devotion to Jesus Christ. (South China Morning Post. 1/12/02, Internet)

Meanwhile, Li Guangqiang, the Hong Kong businessman sentenced to two years in prison for bringing the bibles into China, was released on medical grounds, two weeks before President Bush was set to arrive in China. United States Secretary of State Colin Powell slammed Li's jailing and said the US had been appalled at his treatment. (South China Morning Post, 2/6/02, Internet; Reuters, 2/10/02, Internet)
