A Christian living in northwestern China was reportedly arrested after listening to the Bible with a USB device in his car.
The unnamed believer — referred to as Brother AK in an Aug. 13 report from Premier Christian News — was stopped at a checkpoint while driving with his family through a Muslim-majority part of China to visit other Christians.
He reportedly told officials that “because I believe in Jesus, I was listening to the Bible through the USB.”
Brother AK was detained for questions, and his wife and children — including their baby — were separated from him.
Several days passed without news of his whereabouts as the family stayed with nearby Christians.
Then the host family received a call from authorities inquiring into their relationship with Brother AK’s family.
