Christian Xie Yongjiang Tortured to Death by Chinese Communist Police A tragic event occurred in early May of 1997: A Christian from The Church of Almighty God (CAG) in the city of Huaibei in Anhui Province was arrested by the police of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and tortured to death. The victim was Xie Yongjiang, a 43-year-old man from Xieweizhuang in Dachen Village, located in Wugou Town, Suixi County in Anhui Province’s Huaibei City. He believed in the Lord Jesus in the Local Church, and later on joined The Church of Almighty God. He was an honest and honorable person. Arrested for His Faith, Murdered During an Interrogation Under Torture On April 29, 1997, Xie Yongjiang learned that a member of the Church, Mr. Luo (a 36-year-old native of Wugou Town), had been arrested because of believing in Almighty God and preaching the gospel. Xie Yongjiang became concerned that the belongings of the Church stored at Luo’s home would be confiscated by the police, so he and his son-in-law Mr. Gao (24 years old at the time) and Gao’s father (54 years old at the time, now dead due to illness) rushed to transfer them elsewhere that very same night. When they were done, it was already 2 a.m. the following morning. The three rode their bicycles home, but as they neared Wugou Town, they were stopped by some police officers from the local police station who were on a patrol. The officers recognized Xie Yongjiang from his two previous arrests due to his faith. They forcefully arrested the three on suspicion of unlawful preaching and took them to the Wugou Town Police Station. According to Mr. Gao’s recollection, around 3 a.m. on April 30, his father, his father- in-law Xie Yongjiang, and he himself were taken to the Wugou Town Police Station in Suixi County, where they were separated for interrogation after being forcibly searched. Two male officers cruelly beat him up with a belt and viciously kicked his legs, beating him while saying: “We’ll keep beating you until you three
