China Releases 68-Year-Old American Pastor David Lin After Life Sentence
Sep 16, 2024, 05:26 AM
China has released David Lin, a 68-year-old American pastor from Orange County, after nearly two decades of imprisonment. Lin was detained in 2006 on charges of contract fraud, which the U.S. government has long claimed were spurious. He was serving a life sentence. The State Department confirmed his release, marking the end of a case that has drawn significant international attention. Lin has returned to the United States and reunited with his family for the first time in nearly 20 years. His release is seen as a significant diplomatic gesture by Beijing, which has been under pressure from Washington to free Americans it considers wrongfully detained.
