Police disrupted a Mass in a northeastern province of China in an effort to prevent “illegal religious activity”, according to reports.
AsiaNews.it reported that police raided a community hall in the Heilongjiang province during Mass on April 20, ransacking the place. A video clip shows police arguing with parishioners and attempting to arrest the parish priest and the community’s lay preacher.
Local authorities said later that they had “successfully stopped an underground Catholic priest from holding an illegal religious activity".
