Vietnam raids monastery, evicts monks
Primary tabs
Bat Nha was the fastest-growing and most radical monastery in Vietnam. It was completely destroyed last week by a mob while uniformed police blocked off all roads of access. They violently evicted the monks living there, followers of Thich Nhat Hanh.
A leaked memo from a communist party official blatantly contradicts the Vietnamese Government’s claim that they have nothing to do with the oppression of the Bat Nha monks and nuns (sound familiar, Rochester?)
