Hundreds of parishioners surrounded and threatened the headquarters of the People's Committee of Nghi Phuong commune (Nghi Loc, Nghe An).
(Baonghean.vn) - It was thought that today (September 4, 2013), the Vinh Diocese community would enjoy a day full of joy with many graces from God (that is the Ordination Ceremony of the New Auxiliary Bishop Peter Nguyen Van Vien, Nghe An Electronic Newspaper reported) but, an unfortunate incident happened just a few hours after the Ordination Ceremony of the New Auxiliary Bishop Peter Nguyen Van Vien had just ended, only about 4 km from the Vinh Diocese Bishop's Palace.
That is, hundreds of parishioners gathered in front of the Nghi Phuong Commune People's Committee headquarters (Nghi Loc District, Nghe An Province) to shout and cause disturbances, interrupting the expanded military-civilian meeting organized by the Nghi Phuong Commune Government. Moreover, these parishioners also used stones, sticks and many other weapons (prepared in advance) to attack the officials and people present at the commune headquarters at that time, causing many people to be seriously injured.

People standing by and watching were also injured by stones.
Although the security forces kept calling and persuading the extremists and the agitated people to remain calm, even the security forces were fiercely attacked, causing the incident to become more and more complicated and chaotic. Not stopping there, the "alarm" bells were continuously rung as a "signal" to gather that had been agreed upon in advance. Immediately after that, the number of parishioners pouring into Provincial Road 34 right in front of the Nghi Phuong Commune People's Committee headquarters increased exponentially.
This crowd kept shouting, causing chaos and disorder, and forming a siege to threaten the officials and people present at the Nghi Phuong Commune People's Committee headquarters. Large and small rocks continued to be thrown like rain, causing many people to have their heads broken and bleed, lying and sitting all over the premises of the Commune People's Committee.../.
