Catholic Priest Released From House Arrest in China

From VOA:

A priest from China’s underground Catholic church has been released after nearly six years under house arrest.

Published reports from the Vatican say Vincent Kong Guocun was freed last month because of poor health. There is no official confirmation from Beijing.

The 34-year-old priest, who was from an unapproved diocese in Wenzhou along China’s southeastern coast, had been under house arrest since October 1999.
