Watchman Nee, Ni Tuosheng, or Nee T'o-sheng (Chinese: 倪柝聲; pinyin: Ní Tuòshēng; November 4, 1903 – May 30, 1972), was a Chinese church leader and Christian teacher who worked in China during the 20th century.
...
After the rise of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, Christians came under great persecution.[20] False charges and arrests were also brought against many foreign missionaries. Through intensive propaganda campaigns and threats of imprisonment, believers were influenced to accuse one another.[21][22][23]
On April 10, 1952, Watchman Nee was arrested in Shanghai by Public Security officers from Manzhouli, Manchuria and charged with bribery, theft of state property, tax evasion, cheating on government contracts, and stealing of government economic information. Nee was also "re-educated". On January 11, 1956, there was a nationwide sweep targeting the co-workers and elders in the local churches. Some died in labor camps, while others faced long prison sentences. On January 18, 1956, the Religious Affairs Bureau began twelve days of accusation meetings at the church assembly hall on Nanyang Road in Shanghai, in which many accusations were brought against Nee in large accusation meetings.[24] On June 21, 1956, Nee appeared before the High Court in Shanghai, where it was announced that he had been excommunicated by the elders in the church in Shanghai and found guilty on all charges. He was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment with reform by labor. Initially, he was detained at Tilanqiao Prison in Shanghai but was later moved to other locations. Only his wife, Charity, was allowed to visit him.
On January 29, 1956, Public Security took over the Nanyang Road building, and many of Nee's co-workers were arrested, put into isolation, and forced to repudiate Watchman Nee. Some co-workers joined in the accusation of Watchman Nee while others, such as Peace Wang, Ruth Lee, and Yu Chenghua remained silent and were punished with life imprisonment. Following this, mass accusation meetings were held across the country to condemn the "anti-revolutionary sect of Watchman Nee".[25][26]
One year before Nee's death in 1972, his wife, Charity, died due to an accident and high blood pressure; Nee was not allowed to attend her funeral. Charity's eldest sister then took the responsibility to care for Nee in prison.[27] Nee was scheduled for release in 1967 but was detained in prison until his death on May 30, 1972.[28] There was no announcement of his death nor any funeral. His remains were cremated on June 1, 1972 before his family arrived at the prison.[9]
Nee's grandniece recounted the time when she went to pick up Nee's ashes:
In June 1972, we got a notice from the labor farm that my granduncle had passed away. My eldest grandaunt and I rushed to the labor farm. But when we got there, we learned that he had already been cremated. We could only see his ashes... Before his departure, he left a piece of paper under his pillow, which had several lines of big words written in a shaking hand. He wanted to testify to the truth which he had even until his death, with his lifelong experience. That truth is—"Christ is the Son of God who died for the redemption of sinners and resurrected after three days. This is the greatest truth in the universe. I die because of my belief in Christ. Watchman Nee." When the officer of the labor farm showed us this paper, I prayed that the Lord would let me quickly remember it by heart... My granduncle had passed away. He was faithful until death. With a crown stained with blood, he went to be with the Lord. Although Nee did not fulfill his last wish, to come out alive to join his wife, the Lord prepared something even better—they were reunited before the Lord.

ATHEIST COMMUNIST CHINA PRISON PASTOR !!!
ATHEIST COMMUNIST CHINA PRISON PASTOR !!!
https://www.persecution.org/2020/05/13/ercc-pastor-transferred-prison-exact-location-still-unknown
05/13/2020 China (International Christian Concern) – According to a member from the heavily persecuted Early Rain Covenant Church (ERCC) in Chengdu, imprisoned pastor Wang Yi was recently transferred from Chengdu City Detention Center to a prison, yet the exact location has not been made clear to Wang’s family.
China Aid reports that Wang’s parents have not been able to visit their son, even though according to prison regulations, once an inmate has been transferred to a prison, the family has the right to apply for visitation.
Prisons in China have turned in-person visitation to virtual since the COVID-19 outbreak. Yet Wang’s parents did not receive permission from the government to conduct virtual visitation with their son.
Pastor Wang Yi was sentenced to nine-year of imprisonment for “subversion of state power” and “illegal business operation” last year. His wife Jiang Rong and son Shuya Wang have been placed under surveillance since. No one knows where they live now as they are banned from contacting others. Wang’s parents, on the other hand, have been closely watched at their home since December 9, 2018. They are only permitted to walk around their community and cannot move freely as they want.
Every month Wang’s parents are allowed to see Jiang Rong and Shuya once, under the surveillance from their respective guards. Wang’s mother misses her son very much and wishes to visit him in prison soon. She also hopes that she and her husband can live freely without the authorities’ surveillance soon.
