In another case of believers legally defending their rights, one couple demanded last Thursday that police in the southwestern province of Sichuan return possessions that had previously been confiscated in illegal raids of the couple’s home.
Cao Shuliang and his wife, Zeng Xiangbi, had their house raided three times in the past year. Each time, officers from the local police station and the Domestic Security Protection Department forced their way into the home and confiscated many items. The officers destroyed many of the couple’s belongings that weren’t confiscated.
