Vietnamese authorities plan to raze Hanoi convent
CWN - May 17, 2011

The scheduled demolition of the convent, run by the Sisters of St. Paul, continues a pattern in which the government has appropriated buildings belonging to Catholic parishes and institutions, and converted them to other civic uses.
