The Persecuted Church

Vietnam

Three Montagnard Christians were executed in Vietnam’s Dak Lak province during a crackdown on “illegal” churches. Y-Suon Mlo, Y-Het Nie Kdam and Y-Wan Ayun reportedly were injected with a lethal drug after being convicted of participation in anti-government activities. Those “anti-government” activities included a peaceful protest by hundreds of Montagnards in favor of religious liberty and against government corruption in key Central Highlands cities. The crackdown resulted in 354 churches being forcibly disbanded and more than 50 pastors and elders were said to have "disappeared."
