    Sonia helps illegal missionaries

    The Italian catholic christian immigrant turned Indian


    politician, Mrs Antonia Maino Gandhi, alias Sonia Gandhi now
    known as Shoorpanaka Gandhi (The Gandhi surname is
    not related to the India’s founding father Mahatma Gandhi,
    but a stolen surname to hide the muslim surname Nehru. )
    with the christian conversion terrorist Ron Watts. Watts was
    deported from India, but still operate in India with the help of
    the Pope’s Italian spy Shoorpanaka Gandhi and Nalini
    Chidambaram who is Ron Watt’s lawyer and wife of the
    Cettiyar Paliappan Chidambaram the present Finance
    Minister

    MIDLAND, Texas, July 10 2007 -- China Aid Association


    confirms that a central government-directed campaign to
    expel suspected foreign missionaries has been ongoing since
    February 2007.

    According to reliable China Aid sources and collaborated


    reports by at least five different mission agencies, over 100
    foreigners accused of being involved in illegal religious
    activities in China have been expelled or deported this year
    between April and June. Sources inside the Chinese
    government informed CAA that the Chinese government
    launched a massive expulsion campaign of foreign
    Christians, encoded Typhoon No. 5, in February 2007. This
    campaign is believed to be part of the "anti-infiltration"
    efforts to prevent foreign Christians from engaging in
    mission activities before the Beijing Olympics next year.

    Citizens from six countries working in Xinjiang, Beijing and


    Tibet targeted Most of those expelled are citizens from the
    United States, South Korea, Singapore, Canada, Australia,
    and Israel. They were expelled when they were either
    working or visiting in Xinjiang, Beijing, Tibet, or Shandong.

    According to an American who had been working in Xinjiang


    for 10 years and wants to remain anonymous because of the
    sensitivity of the topic, over 60 foreign religious workers
    were expelled from Xinjiang alone. Some of the workers had
    been serving the local people for 15-18 years before they
    were asked to leave in the past few months. At least 15
    Christian couples from the United States and other countries
    were expelled from Beijing in the month of May. Two
    American English teachers sent by the English Language
    Institute/China (ELIC) were expelled from Tibet. ELIC
    (www.elic.org), a California based Christian organization, is
    the largest English teacher-sending organization to China
    and has trained thousands of Chinese college and high
    school students since the 1990s.

    On May 31, 2007, one Israeli Jewish Christian and an


    American were arrested and expelled from Linyi City,
    Shandong province when they worshiped together with 70
    House Church leaders. Only July 1, three American Christians
    from Indiana were detained in Beijing and then forced to
    leave China after their US passports were taken away for 3
    to 5 days by Chinese security agents.
    Consulate Protection Rights Violated

    According to CAA's private interviews with some of the


    expelled Americans, the Chinese PSB confiscated their
    passports for 2-7 days and treated them professionally while
    they were interrogated. They were not allowed to have
    access to US Embassy in Beijing, a direct violation of US-
    China consulate protection agreements. Some will not be
    allowed to return to China for 5 years.

    This is the largest expulsion of foreign missionaries since


    1954 when the Chinese Communist government expelled all
    foreign religious workers after taking power in 1949. The
    Chinese government refuses to recognize foreign missionary
    status in China so many missionaries choose to work in the
    education or business sectors as ways to stay in China.

    "Given the significant contribution to the Chinese people


    made by those expelled foreigners, this campaign is
    certainly misguided and counter-productive," said Bob Fu,
    President of CAA. "We call upon the Chinese government to
    correct this wrong by allowing these selfless good-hearted
    people of faith back into China."
