"Praise God! We got the call late last night!!! Dad is free and over Alaska now," the pastor's daughter, Alice Lin, expressed joy at her father's release, reflecting the relief of family reunion after two decades.
"We welcome David Lin's release from prison in the People's Republic of China. He has returned to the United States and reunited with his family for the first time in nearly 20 years," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said, emphasizing the significance of the event.
"We will continue to push the release of other Americans," Miller added, signaling the Biden administration's ongoing commitment to advocate for individuals wrongfully detained abroad.
"Lin frequently traveled to China in the 1990s to spread the gospel... he was detained in 2006 when assisting a church not authorized by Chinese officials," highlighting the circumstances around Lin's detention.
