Hanoi: government wants closed trial for Catholic activists
December 01, 2008
Prosecutors in Vietnam are doing their best to discourage attendance at the trial of lay Catholics who are facing criminal charges for their role in demonstrations at the site of a Redemptorist monastery whose property the government confiscated. The trial will take place on the same day as the installation of a new auxiliary bishop, and will be held in an administrative building rather than a courthouse, with attendance by permit only.
