歐洲之聲編者按：給人類帶來災禍的是專制獨裁政權。全能神教會揭露了2024年在中國被大規模迫害的群體，百姓為了追求信仰而獲牢獄之災，甚至在囚禁中被迫害致死。這些數據驚醒世人，中共政權不結束，群體人權迫害就不會終止。請全社會關注中國人權、關注全能神教會在國內遭遇的群體殘酷迫害與淩辱，我們同是人類一員，決不能對生命與人權漠不關心。
2025年2月28日，21名宗教人權專家及學者發表聯名信，呼籲國際社會關注全能神教會成員遭受大規模迫害的情况。
聯名信指出，作為中國受迫害最嚴重的基督教新興宗教團體——全能神教會正遭遇中共當局空前殘酷鎮壓，2024年全國範圍的大抓捕導致近20,000人被捕，至少24人死亡。僅2024年10月，吉林省全能神教會超過600人被捕，兩名基督徒在秘密審訊中喪生。
四天内兩人死亡 遺體傷痕觸目驚心 2024年10月11日，中國吉林省長春市全能神教會遭到中共當局突襲。61歲的王玉霞在某賓館遭秘密審訊6天後死亡，其遺體面部青腫，一隻眼的眼眶瘀青，面目難以辨認，脖子和一條腿都斷了。警察稱其死于突發心臟病。
據一内部人士透露，14日他在關押王玉霞的賓館裏聽到一房間傳來撞門、撞桌凳還有跌倒的聲音，15日他看到同事拿了一包針進屋，没多久聽到裏面有人大喊「你們太狠了，給我用這樣的刑！」一連喊了多聲，審訊持續了一整夜。 另一名受害者，49歲的王福華，此前身體健康，10月11日被捕後關押在秘密地點，經過9天9夜秘密審訊突然死亡。警方稱她突發心梗。
兩起死亡事件相隔僅4天。有被抓基督徒表示，他們在賓館被秘密審訊時經常聽到各屋傳來審訊聲、毆打聲、慘叫聲，還有基督徒遭到性羞辱。 據中共内部文件稱，為徹底取締全能神教會，中共當局針對全能神教會開展三年「攻堅戰」，2024年是第一年。據不完全統計，當年全國被捕的全能神教會人數已達19,053，比2023年驟增53%。
2024年，重判7年及7年以上有168人，抓捕、重判數據和比例均為近年來最高。
一被捕基督徒稱，中共警察對他們説：「我們改變不了你們的思想，我們可以拖垮你們的身體！」一基督徒被重判後要求某知名律師為其上訴，該律師見完辦案法官後回覆道：「他們不讓我為你辯護，如果辯護就和你同罪，刑期一樣。」
歐洲多團體集會 抗議中共殘害基督徒 事件曝光後，2025年2月22日，德國斯圖加特、奥地利維也納和瑞士巴塞爾等地爆發抗議，包括藏人、維吾爾人、港人和歐洲的一些團體、組織，以及全能神教會逃亡基督徒和德國、奥地利、瑞士當地人士，他們手持王福華和王玉霞的照片，高喊「停止謀殺！」「我們要人權！」「我們要自由！」「信仰無罪！」「停止迫害！」等口號，譴責中共殘殺基督徒的暴行。
宗教人權專家及學者在聯名信中敦促國際組織和民主國家當局在與中國討論人權問題時，把數萬名全能神教會成員遭受大規模迫害的案例納入討論範圍，并呼籲民主國家慷慨給予全能神教會難民庇護。 閲讀聯名信全文，請點擊此處。

Nearly 20,000 CAG Members Arrested in 2024; Two Deaths in Four Days in Jilin Spark Global Concern
On February 28, 2025, 21 experts and scholars in religious human rights released a joint letter urging the international community to pay attention to the large-scale persecution of members of The Church of Almighty God (CAG).
The letter highlights that as the most severely persecuted Christian new movement in China, CAG is enduring an unprecedentedly brutal crackdown by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In 2024, nationwide operations resulted in nearly 20,000 arrests and at least 24 deaths. In October 2024 alone, over 600 CAG members were detained in Jilin Province, where two CAG Christians died during covert interrogations.
Two Dead in Four Days: Bodies Bear Horrific Wounds
On October 11, 2024, Chinese authorities raided The Church of Almighty God in Changchun, Jilin Province. Wang Yuxia, a 61-year-old CAG member, died after six days of secret interrogation in a hotel. Her body showed facial bruising, a blackened eye socket, making her unrecognizable. Her neck and one leg were broken. Police attributed her death to a sudden heart attack.
An insider revealed that on October 14, he heard sounds of banging on doors, furniture being knocked over, and a fall coming from the room where Wang Yuxia was held in the hotel. On October 15, he saw a colleague enter the room with a packet of needles. Soon after, he heard someone screaming repeatedly, “You’re so cruel, using such torture on me!” The screams persisted for a while. The interrogation lasted through the entire night.
Another victim, 49-year-old Wang Fuhua, was in good health before her arrest on October 11, 2024. Detained at a secret site, she died suddenly after nine days and nights of interrogation. Police also claimed her death was due to a heart attack.
The two deaths occurred in just four days. Some CAG Christians reported that during their secret custody and interrogations in hotels, they frequently heard interrogating roars, sounds of beatings, and screams from different rooms, along with CAG Christians enduring sexual humiliation.
Internal CCP documents reveal that the Chinese authorities have launched a three-year “Tough Battle” to eradicate The Church of Almighty God, with 2024 marking the first year of the campaign. According to incomplete figures, 19,053 CAG members were arrested nationwide in 2024—a dramatic 53% surge compared to 2023.
In 2024, at least 168 CAG members received harsh sentences of seven years or longer. The data on arrests and heavy sentences, along with their proportions, reached a record high level in recent years.
One arrested CAG Christian recounted that the Chinese police told them, “We can’t change your beliefs, but we can destroy your bodies.” Another CAG Christian, after receiving a heavy sentence, sought legal assistance from a well-known lawyer for an appeal. However, after meeting with the judge handling the case, the lawyer replied, “They won’t allow me to defend you. If I insist, I’ll be charged with the same crime and given the same prison term as you.”
Multi-group Rally in Europe to Protest Against CCP’s Persecution of Christians
Following the exposure of the atrocities, protests broke out on February 22, 2025, in multiple cities, including Stuttgart in Germany, Vienna in Austria, and Basel in Switzerland. The demonstrations were led by Tibetans, Uyghurs, Hongkongers, European human rights groups, CAG Christian fugitives, and local citizens of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Holding photos of Wang Fuhua and Wang Yuxia, protesters chanted slogans such as “Stop Killings!” “We Demand Human Rights!” “We Want Freedom!” “Faith Is No Crime!” and “Stop Persecution!” condemning the CCP’s brutal persecution of Christians.
In their joint open letter, religious human rights experts and scholars urged international organizations and democratic governments to include the mass persecution of hundreds of thousands of CAG members in human rights talks with China. They also called on democratic nations to generously grant asylum to CAG refugees.
