Uyghur Pastor Faces Church Closure in Xinjiang

Uyghur Pastor Faces Church Closure in Xinjiang

A pastor named Pastor A, who is part of the Uyghur group, leads a small church in his home.

The Chinese government has been putting more pressure on his church, saying they are breaking rules.

The church has to pay money and show papers about what they do, or they might have to close.

The pastor's son was even arrested and questioned about the church.

Many groups from the Uyghur community are upset about a new law that they say forces people to give up their own culture and follow the Chinese government's rules.

They want the international community to help stop this law.
