The first time the world saw human rights lawyer Wang Yu after her June 2015 arrest was on television four months later, when she strongly condemned her teenage son’s attempt to flee from China into Burma. “This kind of action is very risky and is illegal,” she said in a monotone voice.

A search on China’s online retail giant Taobao can help you find items you didn’t think you needed. You can find a snack bowl with grooves to hold your iPhone, a rain poncho that covers two people and a scooter, or a laser-beam taillight for your bike that projects emojis onto the road.

One thing you can no longer find on Taobao: the Bible, the holy Word of God.

In 2015, I visited China’s Beatitudes (Bafu) Public School, an unregistered church-run school in the outskirts of Beijing, and was impressed by its level of professionalism: Bright crafts hung on the classroom walls, and a reading nook was fashioned with draped pink cloth, bookshelves, and cushions. During Monday morning chapel, students in uniforms sang worship songs and then lined up to place their offerings into a tithe box. Outside, kids chased each other during recess, playing on the wooden play set next to a garden they tended as part of their science class.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., revealed Wednesday he met with Pastor Andrew Brunson on Monday in the Turkish prison where the North Carolina native has been detained since October 2016. Although buoyed by his faith, Brunson’s health has deteriorated, Tillis said. Brunson spends 24 hours a day in his cell, with limited human contact, and has lost 50 pounds.

In February authorities began notifying the refugees—all persecuted religious minorities deemed eligible under a special U.S. law for asylum—that they would have two weeks to leave Austria, where they have been residing in temporary housing for more than a year.

The Myanmar government used bulldozers to clear out at least 55 Rohingya Muslim villages in an operation that could destroy evidence of abuse against the minority group, Human Rights Watch reported Friday. The satellite images, provided by Colorado-based DigitalGlobe, showed the villages void of structures and vegetation. Security forces in Myanmar, also known as Burma, launched a clearance operation in August that sent about 700,000 Rohingya fleeing into neighboring Bangladesh. Satellite imagery at the time showed authorities initially torched the majority of the Rohingya villages.
