Eight Nuns Reach Safety After Red China Purge
Eight weary Roman Catholic nuns attached to Sacred Heart Academy in Pe King arrived in Hong Kong after being expelled by China's Communist government. Sister Eamon aged 85 fainted crossing the border and was carried in a baggage cart. The group included women from Canada Ireland Italy Poland Scotland Greece Switzerland and France. They were forced to stand with heads bowed for about 30 minutes before the school was closed. One nun was injured previously and used crutches. The nuns will rest in hospital several days before proceeding. A separate report from East Berlin noted a strong protest to Red China over the mistreatment of German embassy personnel by Red Guards in Peking.
