Is that near Sang Bang or Dang Gong?
One of our 3 letter bad people agency?
Authorities in Vietnam said Friday they will prosecute 84 people accused of being involved in deadly attacks on two commune offices in central Dak Lak province and ordered them held in pre-trial detention.
It isn’t clear who was behind the June 11 attacks, which left nine people dead, or what motivated them.
On Friday, the Ministry of Public Security said it had confirmed that “organizations and individuals from overseas” had been involved, without getting more specific.
“Materials and evidence collected by security forces show that the incident took place with the support and guidance of several organizations and individuals from overseas,” the ministry said. “They even sent foreign-based people to Vietnam illegally in order to stage and direct the terrorist attacks.”
On Tuesday, Major General Pham Ngoc Viet, the head of the ministry’s Homeland Security Department, said that among those arrested in Dak Lak were members of “a U.S.-based organization” who had been “tasked to enter Vietnam and stage the attacks.”
The attacks occurred in an area that is home to about 30 indigenous tribes known collectively as Montagnards, who have historically felt persecuted or oppressed. But authorities have not said those arrested were Montagnards.
RFA interviewed several overseas Montagnard organizations who denied involvement in the incident and even condemned the violent attacks.
In the days immediately following the attack, authorities had said those involved were young people who harbored delusions and extremist attitudes and had been incited and abetted by the ringleaders via the internet.
Vietnam is still a communist country, we have common interests regarding China, but it is still a communist dictatorship. Sorry these people didn’t succeed.
"Land revocation" ...hmmmm. Sounds like the communists haven't moderated at all since they took over, despite claims to the contrary from US business people promoting normalization. I might point out that on Jan 5 and 6 2021, one Mr. Sullivan and one CNN related female freshly returned to the US from a visit to Vietnam, were in the US Capitol agitating for violence while in the guise of documentary journalists, and we're on the scene when Ashli was shot.

The Vietnamese are using lawfare in much the same way as the Obama-Biden administrations:
Vietnam’s Hmong Christians persecuted for their beliefs.

Foua, a farmer in his 30s, has spent three months behind bars in Vietnam’s northwestern province of Dien Bien. He will remain there for two more, convicted of deforestation – even though the law only stipulates a fine as punishment.
His crime? Cutting down nine trees to build a hut for his family....
...Nhat Vo Tran, executive secretary of VCHR, says persecution of Hmong Christians and Christians in general has increased. He cites the Law on Belief and Religion that came into effect on January 1, 2018, allowing significant government control over the practice of religion.
The law includes broad provisions to restrict religious freedom in the name of national security and social unity, requiring a multistage registration and recognition process for religious groups to have legal status. Registration is required for groups to preach, organise ceremonies, conduct religious education at approved locations, publish religious materials, accept donations from foreign sources or provide humanitarian aid. Hmong Christians who try to register are regularly denied and complain the entire process is designed to identify and repress minorities and believers.
“Non-registered groups – like Protestants – are not entitled to freedom of religion, so they can be repressed,” Vo Tran says.
“Vietnam routinely hides the real reasons of its repression against Christians. The advantage of using criminal law – like in Foua’s case – is that it is not visible or obvious as religious repression. It’s what we call ‘stealth repression’ … People are harassed in their daily life and if they want it to improve they have to renounce their church and/or their faith.”...
