(Sinosphere/NYTimes) The arrest and detention of a 14 year old Hong Kong girl who was sent to a reeducation children’s home for drawing on ‘Lennon Wall’ has brought accusations that authorities are using misusing child protection laws to intimidate young pro-Democracy activists together with their families. 

On the 23 December, Hong Kong Police arrested the 14 yr old girl on suspicion of drawing chalk flowers on ‘Lennon Wall’ that became widely known with posting of messages during the 79 day pro-Democracy rallies when  protesters peacefully occupied key highways and intersections.

Yesterday according to Radio Free Asia a Hong Kong Judge released the 14 yr old who had become known as ‘Chalk Girl’ by Netizens from custody with strict conditions.

The Obama Administration continues to say nothing about the human rights abuses by the China regime against pro-Democracy activists such as Han Ying who was recently detained and arrested by authorities on trumped up charges of ‘picking quarrels and provoking troubles.’

On the 11 November, I wrote here that Obama at the recent AIPAC Summit assured China President Xi Jinping, that the United States had ‘no involvement’ in promoting Democracy or supporting Hong Kong’s ‘Umbrella Revolution’ Freedom Movement — No surprises here.

(Reuters) China authorities dismantled a Cross in a Christian convalescent home a week before Christmas an employee reported this week–the latest example of a growing crackdown on Christianity the totalitarian Marxist regime fears.

Men dressed in in plain clothes removed the Cross that was atop of the nursing home in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on the 19 December, said Gao Huifang an employee of the facility.

On the 16 December, I wrote here about the growing persecution of Christians by the China regime.

Christian Activists say the latest incident is part of a campaign targeting Churches throughout Zhejiang Province, which is known for its Christian population–As of the 12 December, there had been 400+ Churches receiving ‘Orders’ for removal of Crosses.

(Mirror Online)  ISIS Jihadist’s beheaded 4 Christian children in Iraq for refusing to convert to Islam.

Fr. Andrew White says the executions took place in a Christian enclave close to Baghdad which has recently been overrun by ISIS.

In November Obama claimed on CBS ‘Face the Nation’ CNN reports that the U.S. air campaign against ISIS is ‘very effective, degrading the militants and slowing their advance.’

Speaking to the Orthodox Christian Network Fr. White said: Islamic State turned up and said to the children, you say the words that you will follow Islam.

The children all under 15 yrs of age said, ‘No, we love Jesus…’

The ISIS Thugs subsequently chopped all their heads off. How do you respond to that? You just cry.
