Say Their Only "Crime" Is Promoting Common Good
Vietnamese authorities arrested 15 Catholic youths in July and August, six of whom are being held in Hanoi, while the whereabouts of the other nine is unknown.
Their families launched an appeal for solidarity in an open letter in which they ask for the active support and prayer of the whole Church, the Eglises d'Asie agency of the Foreign Missions of Paris reported Thursday.
The families say their children are innocent of any crime, and that they should not be punished for involvement in social activities that promote the common good.
