For a healthy living environment
Some bad elements have taken advantage of the marine environment disaster in the central region last year to instigate some local Catholics to cause social disorder. Their purpose is to cook up a story about what they call “religious and democratic suppression”, create an image of an “unstable Vietnam”, divide national unity, trigger riots, and call for foreign intervention. In February and early April, some Catholics in Nghe An and Ha Tinh province blocked a transnational highway, attacked officials and law enforcement personnel, destroyed property, and caused troubles at the headquarters of the Loc Ha district People’s Committee.
