"Police from the Yongningjie police station in Wenjiang district took a group of children of church members to the police station, where they held them in the absence of their parents," Pan said. "These actions on the part of the police were in serious contravention of the Chinese constitution," he said. Chinese law requires the parents of minors to be present for police to detain them. "In raiding and persecuting house churches and Protestant believers, the police and other municipal departments have plummeted to a new moral low," he said.
