Offenders of religious freedom under the uniforms of police and security guard
VRNs (Nov. 07, 2013) – Binh Duong – On the evening of Nov. 05, 2013, relatives and parishioners from An Lac Parish in northern province of Thai Binh, who currently reside in Saigon and Binh Duong, gathered together at the private residence of Mr. Nguyen on national route 50, An Phu Ward, Thuan An Town, Binh Duong Province, to pray for their ancestors and the souls in purgatory as Catholics around the world do in November. Usually this prayer lasts about 30 minutes, prayers then get some dinner together and say goodbye to one another around 9 p.m.
When the prayer ended at 7:30 p.m., suddenly a number of polices and about a dozen of regime-hired security guards came over to harass those Catholics. A police officer, who did not reveal his name, demanded to meet the host and to make ID check on his guests. In front of about 30 people who attended the prayer, the senior police officer asked the host as follows.
