China: First Anniversary of Finding Body of Indefatigable Underground Priest Fr. Yu

AsiaNews: Today, and in the past few days, many Catholics in and outside of China have remembered Fr Yu Heping, also known as Heping (peace in Chinese), on the first anniversary of his death.

On 8 November exactly a year ago, his family received news that his body was found that day. The priest’s body was found in a river near the city of Taiyuan (Shanxi). Since then, the police maintained that the clergyman’s death was a suspected suicide, but many Catholics do not believe this version. Meanwhile, Fr Yu’s body is still at a morgue, though an autopsy was done. More here.
