Hanoi announces three new bird flu cases

Hanoi (AsiaNews/Agencies) – Vietnam has informed the World Health Organisation (WHO) that three more bird flu cases were recorded in the last two weeks.

This brings the total number of confirmed cases to 82—38 people who fell ill died.

"The three patients live in Hanoi and are alive. [But] the Vietnamese government has not provided any further information," the WHO said.

Today, state-controlled media also announced another six new cases of the H5N1 infection, all in northern provinces. All six patients were admitted to a hospital in the capital. The information though could not be confirmed from official sources.

Since the bird flu was detected in South-East Asia, 54 people have died: 38 in Vietnam, 12 in Thailand, and 4 in Cambodia.

Msgr. Savio Hon: Freedom for arrested bishops and priests, is also good for China
by Bernardo CervelleraEven if the government does not give answers or to the Holy See, or diplomats, or to friends of the Vatican and China, it is important that "no one forgets about them." The Chinese government's official response when asked is always: "We do not know." "We need to pray first," "but we must also appeal to those who are holding them."

Two Chinese bishop martyrs recognised as ‘Illustrious Unknown’ for 2011
by Bernardo CervelleraMgr James Su Zhimin, 80, has done 40 years in prison; Mgr Cosma Shi Enxiang, 90, has spent 50 years. No one talks about them whilst the Chinese government says it “does not know where they are”. Many fear they might die under torture as other bishops have done before. The Vatican should demand their release as a condition for dialogue. A campaign is launched on their behalf in 2012.
