Shang Lei is detained for his religious activity.
In February 2025, authorities arrested Shang, a member of Xinyi Village (Covenant) Church, along with several other church members. Authorities charged him with "intentional destruction of property" after some church members dismantled surveillance equipment installed in the church by governing authorities. Shang's church also refused to comply with government orders to remove the cross and exclude children from their worship services. Authorities confined him at Huainan PSB Detention Center in Tianjia’an district.
