Thanh Hoa police continue to announce the location of the Church of God
On April 28, Thanh Hoa Provincial Police continued to announce an inspection of the activities of a group of people claiming to be members of the "Church of God" (also known as "Mother God") in the mountainous district of Ngoc Lac.
Specifically, in the mountainous district of Ngoc Lac, the number of people participating in the Church includes the elderly, students, workers, and freelance workers (mainly women, people in difficult circumstances, without stable jobs, etc.).
Although not yet authorized by the competent authorities, this group still secretly conducts illegal religious propaganda activities. Thereby, it lures and entices many people to participate, causing unpredictable consequences.
Many families have broken up like the case of Mrs. Nguyen Thi H. (50 years old), in Kien Tho commune, Ngoc Lac district, since joining the "Church of God" she abandoned her family, did not care about her husband, children, relatives, and blindly followed the group that propagated illegal religion.
Recently, Ngoc Lac district police discovered 8 subjects organizing "Church of God" activities on the 2nd floor of Ngoc Lac bus station, including: Nguyen Van Tinh (born 1993), in Ba Vi district, Hanoi; Pham Mai Phuong (born 1991), in Kien An, Hai Phong; Nguyen Xuan Kien (born 1977), Ha Thi Thu (born 1961), Truong Thi Ngoc Thue (born 1995), Le Van Anh (born 1993), all in Ngoc Lac district; Ho Thi Nga (born 1995), in Quynh Luu, Nghe An; Le Thi Phuc (born 1960), in Tho Phu commune,Trieu Son district.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Trieu Van Binh - Deputy Head of Ngoc Lac District Police, the police force had discovered the behavior of these subjects since the beginning of 2018 and had organized forces to remind them and ask them to write a commitment not to repeat illegal religious activities.
However, these subjects still secretly entice and attract followers and organize illegal activities, forcing the police to draw up records and confiscate evidence.and proposed that the authorities expel the relevant subjects from the locality.
