Father PHAN Văn Lợi and Ven. THÍCH Không Tánh were harassed and threaten by security-connected thugs

Date and time:
March 22, 2015

Location:
Huế City
Father Lợi's house

Incident:
Ven. Không Tánh visits Father Lợi, 15 minutes later, 3 security-connected thugs appeared at the front door to harass and shouting bad words to them. The thugs later increased to 4 or 5. 

A young monk from pagoda/Chùa Phước Thành took Ven. Không Tánh to Father Lợi's house for a talk over the failed attempt in recent week to meet at pagoda/Chùa Phước Thành. The plan was to giving out gifts to disable veterans of the Republic of Vietnam in Huế.

The thugs were yelling "Mr. Không Tánh come out here"/‘ông Không Tánh ra đây'.

Father Lợi called the chief of province Thừa Thiên-Huế and the chief of city Huế's security to notify and seek help. Both of the them were unwilling and talking around, pushing the issue to lower level personnels.

The thugs were threatening 'Không Tánh come out to face death by beatings'.
