The Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences has suspended their pan-Asian Catholic radio, Radio Veritas Asia, allegedly following a dispute over its ownership.
The federation’s president Cardinal Charles Bo in a March 28 letter said all activities of the project based in the Philippine capital Manila will be suspended from March 29.
“Deep concerns” and “some kind of disorder and anomaly” over the project compelled him to take the decision, he said.
