Four American Christians had 315 bibles confiscated when arriving to the Chinese city Kunming on August 17, 2008.

The Christians said they would not leave the airport until the bibles were returned and staged a 26-hour sit-in. They left on August 18, 2008, after saying they realized officials would not return the bibles.CNN: After Bibles seized, U.S. group won't leave Chinese airport (August 18, 2008)
