Letter communion with the Catholic missionary Con Cuong, Quan Lang Parish, Archdiocese Bot Da, Vinh diocese.


            Dear
- Bishop Paul Nguyen Thai Hop, Pastors Diocese of Vinh.
- Our Father Bot Da particles, Quan Lang Parish.
- Our Nuns and Brothers and Sisters of Con Cuong Catholic laity.

            Father Nguyen Kim Dien group we very shocked, hurt and angry to hear bad news that the Communist authorities in Nghe An province, Con Cuong district, Yen Khe, Trung Huong hamlet has mobilized hundreds of police, military, civil defense, and thugs to Catholic missionary Con Cuong to suppress Nguyen Dinh Thuc Father John Baptist brothers and sisters and parishioners at Mass last Sunday on 01-07-2012.

            We know this is not the first time parishioners and priests in the Church of Con Cuong was the local Communist authorities harassed, assaulted, violated religious freedom. The way of the Cross of Point Church has lasted a long time ago:
            - On 13-11-2011, the district authorities have mobilized 500 police forces, civil defense to the Chapel of the Church points to create chaos while faithful priests and offerings.
            - On 30-11-2011, at 0g30, a self-made landmines were thrown into the chapel, damaged ceilings, floors and windows chapel. Not hard to guess the culprit for this.

            - On 03-06-2012, the priest to celebrate Mass, a staff of about 50 people from the district authorities, town and village to harass and cause noise for sacred worship.
            - On 24-6-2012, about 250 people were mobilized by authorities have also flocked to disrupt, deter parishioners and priests Sunday liturgy, and speakers used slander.

            The most serious was on 01-07-2012 and new, when celebrating Mass for the parishioners of the Church as usual, his first GB Nguyen Dinh Thuc was the secret police force, mobile police, criminal police, traffic police, members of the Front equipped firearms, batons, sticks, stone tiles ... prevented the chapel where a gang is hired by authorities are blatantly occupied. Next, because the Lord determined to protect and enforce the duty of worship, Father Thuc and many faithful  were beaten brutally by forces. Some of them emergency hospitalization, which is particularly serious cases sister Maria Ngo Thi Thanh was beaten broken skull.

            After a turbulent Mass because of the determination to destroy by the atheist, the government continues to mobilize military forces of the 335th regiment with full guns to suppress the people. Consequently, many holy pictures and statues were destroyed, many lay people were arrested. In contrast, lay people also take 28 fin thugs illegally recapture the chapel and had forced them open if they were hired to 500,000 each to beat parishioners and priests!

            Finally, thanks to the closed parishes like Lang Dien, ​​Yen Linh, Lang Quan, Bot Da, Son La to support and communion, despite the threat of police, military, civil defense, thugs, England Sisters-Catholics gathered in Con Cuong district People's Committee to midnight-was forced to represent provincial and district authorities to immediately release unconditionally parishioners arrested illegally and must clearly make a record of what happened at the afternoon. Unfortunately Communist authorities immediately took the minutes, sealed Catholic chapel and the expulsion of two sisters who take care of this holy place. At the same time they are also the so-called "decision to prosecute criminal cases with 4 signs of crime: the illegal arrest, disturbing public order, against the duty, intentionally causing injury "more faithful to convene upped the ante terrorist coercion, even at the same time open a campaign lie, public incitement, slander priests, monks and laity blatant and despicable newspaper stations in Nghe An province.

            Respond to this serious incident, dated 04-07-2012 had communion Letter from France of the Diocese Pastors, sent a letter to Nghe An Provincial People's Committee  and send The statement to entire Diocese of Bishop Diocese of Vinh section of the mission station Con Cuong in the same to Press Telecommunication Union, Vietnam Catholic diaspora.
