Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri, of a prominent underground church, was released from prison in China less than two months after U.S. President Donald Trump raised his case during a meeting with Chinese leaders.
Jin Mingri was detained in October. Details regarding the charges against him were not provided in available sources. The release occurred weeks after President Trump requested his release during discussions with Chinese leadership, according to NPR.
The New York Post reported that Pastor Jin Mingri arrived in Los Angeles and “is finally reunited with his family.” No further details about his arrival or condition were given by the outlet.
No additional context regarding the circumstances of Jin Mingri’s detention or release was provided in the sources. The nature of the underground church he leads also remains unspecified.
The timing of the release following President Trump's request suggests a potential connection between the two events, though direct confirmation of this link is not present in the available reporting.
