In the context of Chinese politics in July 2026, judicial proceedings are more a tool to demonstrate justice than a precision surgery knife used by local bureaucracies against independent belief networks.
On July 19, a report from the Southeast Underground Family Church confirmed this systematic pressure once again. After experiencing six months of cross-regional secret detention and clandestine operations, Chengdu Chongqing Holy Covenant Evangelist Daesh has recently been officially transferred to the People's Prosecutor's Office of Sichuan Province to review the prosecution. However, at the end of the investigation, the prosecutor's office suddenly added a new crime, "organizing an illegal gathering," in addition to the previous political crimes of "incitement to subversion of the state regime".
At this time, 180 days have passed since Di Chengdu. His wife, Luang Zee, is in the midst of six. In the past half-year media isolation, she has endured all the difficulties of pregnancy alone, and now she must walk into the maternity room alone under the huge shadow of her husband who may face years of severe punishment.
This "two crimes and punishment" at the prosecutor's office at the end of the day tears the coat of the rule of law carefully wrapped in the Sichuan legal system. It's not an extension of the law, but a black drama that local bureaucrats put together after the double bankruptcy of procedures and evidence chains to complete the indicators of conviction.
Addition of the end of justice: the "false combination kick" under the heart
In the eyes of the legal community, this sudden addition of minor crimes on the eve of the transfer of prosecution exposed the bottom line under the extreme anxiety of the Joint Task Force.
“Inciting a crime of subversion of the state regime” is a typical political crime, which often flows in the practical operations because of the lack of substantive evidence of behavior. Both local police will be detained in super-secret detention for six months, if only relying on a few Sunday sermons and online prayer letters, it will be difficult to shut down in the prosecution review of the prosecutor’s court. If only a blank political crime is controlled, the case will face a very high risk of abortion in the judicial review phase.
In order to ensure physical conviction, the case authorities at the end of the case used the "organization of illegal assembly crime"
- the public security pocket crime.
The incitement to subversion is a “political card” used to outline and cut off legal solidarity from the outside world; the organizing of illegal assembly is a “facts card” used to enforce physical convictions. This untypical combination of political crimes and security pocket crimes is a typical “political issue legalization” operation. The authoritarian regime must use specific behavioral crimes to mask this persecution in the procedure and evidence chain abortion.
Cross-Regional Black Boxes: Procedural Justice Completely Empty
The beginning of this disaster in the rule of law was a cross-regional cross-border arrest six months ago.
On January 6, 2026, the police in Chengdu and Yangon jointly broke directly into the office of the Holy Covenant Church in Chengdu, took Daesh and thoroughly seized his home. During the following six months, the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act on the right of the family to be informed of the detainees became a void in the circulation of police documents.
This cross-regional joint case objectively became a firewall for local circumvention of legal supervision. The interference of police forces in the two cities caused the subject of responsibility to become blurred. When lawyers went to the window for inquiries, the two sides often pushed each other, resulting in the right to information and defence of detained citizens being completely empty.
Under the current political ecology, the law is not a string at all, but a stability tool that local administrative authorities can trample at will.
Spiritual Highest Efficiency Loyalty and Totalitarian Organizational Anxiety
A young preacher with no arms, no political program, why would he touch the most sensitive nerves of local governments?
Over the past ten years, he has studied with Wang Yi Pastor in 2013 and later served full-time in the church in Pakistan and Chengdu, where he experienced the 2018 “12-9 Doctrine” imprisonment, long-term family house arrest, and even tracking and beating out of the gates of the district.
In the logic of absolute control of totalitarian regimes, any organization that does not accept the absolute leadership of the Party is a potential threat to the security of the regime.
Spiritual loyalty at the highest level: Totalitarian rule requires absolute obedience in mind, but for Christians, “Christ is Lord” is the only supreme belief. When official directives conflict with the bottom line of belief, they choose to obey the belief. This spiritual independence, in the eyes of absolute control, is the most thorough non-violent rebellion.
Strong organizational capabilities of civil society: The institutions are most afraid not of a crowd of scattered netizens, but of a highly cohesive, spontaneously connected and mutually aided civil network. The family church has established a highly viscous social self-government group outside of the official system. This informal organizational mobilization capacity leads to extreme anxiety for the rulers who are accustomed to eliminating all independent intermediate organizations.
The ultimate blame: Local political nomination.
Looking through the entire decision-making chain, this cross-regional mobilization of police force, over-term black box detention, and the systematic persecution of "pocket crimes" at the end of the end, the grassroots processors can never decide on their own.
As the highest governor of De Yin City, Liu Liu Liang, secretary of the De Yin City Committee, is unacceptable for his guilt in this political case.
In the past several quarters of the work meeting of the DeYang official, Liu has repeatedly strictly emphasized the cleansing of "illegal religious organizations".In the current political ecology, the normal religious gatherings of the family churches, above all, are "incitement to subvert the state power", can not only show the overall political view of local party committees to safeguard "political security", but can also struggle for huge amounts of financial allocations and personnel for the local system.
In order to so-called political achievements and the political nomination of the uplift, the local people openly broke the bottom line of the rule of law, brutally persecuted religious beliefs, and even created a humanitarian family tragedy for pregnant women to produce alone.
Now, the case with traces of two police pocket crimes and high-level will has been officially submitted to the People's Prosecutor's Office of De Yin City. This thick case not only records the faith of a young evangelist, but will also record the secretary of the De Yin City Committee, Liu Liu Yang, the main government official, in the rule of law and human rights book every black trace written for himself.
