After the second cycle of UPR, China has turned down most of the recommendations concerning civil and political rights, including the recommendations calling for China to revoke extrajudicial and arbitrary detention.
1.2 Although several Christian groups are persecuted in China, we focus on the most blatant and dramatic case, concerning the Christians of The Church of Almighty God. In addition to others religious believers, human rights activists, and dissidents, during the span between 2014 and 2018, members of The Church of Almighty God have been subjected to continuous arbitrary detention and imprisonment in China.

On March 1, 2018, during the 37th session of the Human Rights Council at the United Nations in Geneva, the Coordination of the Associations and Individuals for Freedom of Conscience (CAP LC) organized a Side Event on the denial of religious freedom in China and the case of The Church of Almighty God. The event was introduced and coordinated by Mr. Thierry Valle, the president of CAP LC. A panel of international scholars and human rights and freedom of religion experts discussed the dramatic situation of the members of The Church of Almighty God both in China, where they are severely persecuted, and in South Korea and Europe, where their requests for asylum are often denied. During the event, attendees also watched a video with testimonies of three members of The Church of Almighty God who suffered brutal persecution at the hands of the authorities of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Their stories aroused profound reflection generally.
