Keep in prayer for the Vietnam Human Rights Bill. It is presently in the Senate after passing by a wide margin in the House. If you have any doubt about whether the Bill should pass, take a look at the picture below of an actual re-education camp in Vietnam provided by the Montagnard Foundation. Re-education camps are where believers are typically sent. Stay tuned as we will post a picture per day over the next 4 days.

AMEN!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Who the heck took these pictures? How did they get them out? I have no doubt this is exactly what goes on in Socialist reeducation camps, but I'm doubtful about the specific photos themselves. How did they get these photos out? What time frame? Which camp? Location? It almost looks like a movie set to me.

It is evident that the left has brain washed several people. The South Vietnamese left the country by the millions when the North took over and many ofthose remaining were placed in reeducation camps. The North took over when they violated the peace treaty signed in Paris and after the US Congress cut off funds. Further, there were no Viet Cong left (or very few) after TET 1968 and those that were left were discarded by the North Vietnamese. If the military had been allowed to fight a war with the North it would have been over in months. The military was not allowed to fight to win and as such we lost over 58,000 and still counting. The cause was to gain freedom for the people of South Vietnam. Any lies that you read about giving land to the South Vietnameseby by the Communist North is mostly that, lies. Do not believe the press in the United States as they must maintain the lies to make sure that their position on the war was justified. The war was against Communism there are NO good Communist the Communist of the world were and still are trying to destroy the United States.

the VC split up and old plantatations and pretty much gave them the land that they'd been working forever

Just for a history correction, immediately after 1975 the Hanoi regime seized my mother-in-law's 600 hectares of property near Sa Dec and all of father-in-law's family properties near Ha Tien.

Then to make sure they'd missed nothing, the NVA then went repeatedly through Southern cities, towns and villages with metal detectors searching for even the smallest holdings of family gold. They'd tear up your walls and yard looking for even a single tael.

A real war between the US and North Vietnam should last a year, tops.

For comparison, when the NVA (all draftees) finally went after the Khmer Rouge, they took Phnom Penh in one week, start to finish.

The South Vietnamese left the country by the millions when the North took over and many ofthose remaining were placed in reeducation camps.

In addition, millions of *North* Vietnamese left North Vietnam after 1954, when the handwriting was on the wall that the Viet Minh were going to launch an aggressive Communist progrom of land seizures and persecutions.

Even people like Nguyen Kao Ky were originally from the Hanoi area. Catholics left North Vietnam in droves.

Its estimated that 600,000 South Vietnamese folks went for reeducation after 1975. Sentences were in multiples of 3 years, e.g., if your weren't properly compliant after 3 years, you got another 3.

Officers and government officials received longer sentences, 15 years being a norm.

Through wifey, I know lots of guys who got 3 years, and lots who got 15 years. At least two members of her family returned permanently crippled.

[YOUGOTIT]

Yes I met some of those in South Vietnam they were Catholic.

"No one is sent to a re-education camp simply for being Christian"

ANOTHER public schooled trained member of the politburo?

Just like no Jews were killed in the concentration camps?

[killjoy]

Yawn...

Just like no Jews were killed in the concentration camps?

Strawman arguement... Please give me documented proof that people are sent to camps in Vietnam for simply being Christian. Sorry, it does not happen. There is plenty of proof of Nazi prosecution of Jews.

"Wishful thinking. No one is sent to a re-education camp simply for being Christian."

Unfortunately you are absolutely wrong. People are sent to "re-education" camps all over the world simply because they are Christian. Vietnam is only one country that persecutes believers in Jesus.

I can't vouch for the authenticity of these photos, but I do know personally several Christians who have been sent to these type of camps in Vietnam, Sudan, and Russia.

[Rocko]

Bump.

[killjoy]

Unfortunately you are absolutely wrong. People are sent to "re-education" camps all over the world simply because they are Christian. Vietnam is only one country that persecutes believers in Jesus.

So please give me documented proof, from a non-Christian group, of this currently happening in Vietnam. I am not talking about people being prosecuted who happen to be Christian, but where their only crime is being Christian.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Thought crimes. 'swhat the Clintons had in mind.

[expatguy]

No one is sent to a re-education camp simply for being Christian

Im sure you meant to say, that you hope it is not true that people are sent to a re-education camp for simply being a Christian.

[brazzaville]

Good morning.

"Wishful thinking. No one is sent to a re-education camp simply for being Christian."

Are YOU engaging in wishful thinking or are you being willfully ignorant. Communists send people to the camps for being educated. The Khmer Rouge suffocated people with plastic bags simply because the victims wore glasses. Communists kill and imprison just because they feel like it and atheist communists loathe Christianity.

Strawman argument. The Khmer Rouge were not Vietnamese. Among others, the Khmer Rouge specifically targetted Cambodians who were ethnically Vietnamese. FYI, the Vietnamese are the ones who put an end to the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia.

Again, please provide documented evidence, from a non-Christian source, of people currently being sent to re-education camps in Vietnam simply for being Christian.

[thombo]

This must be an example of what Uncle Ho refered to as a "Workers Paradise". Cambodia is still recovering from Pol Pots version of marxist nirvana.I'm sure John Kerry,Jane Fonda,etc are proud of their handiwork!

[Viet_Thuy]

I doubt if anyone can provide you with that information. The current Vietnamese government has a poor human rights record, but the idea that anyone is being sent to a reeducation camp simply for being a Christian is nonsense. Viet Nam has a huge Roman Catholic population (6 to 8 million people, the second largest number in any country in Asia after the Philippines); there are large seminaries in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and in addition to the Catholic Church, the Vietnamese government officially recognizes the Christian Missionary Alliance and the Southern Evangelical Church of Viet Nam.

Viet Nam needs to make major improvements in religious freedom, but anyone interested in a balanced and accurate description of the current relationship between the Vietnamese government and religious organizations might want to read the International Religious Freedom Report 2003 from the U.S. Department of State at this address:

Everyone else can continue the simpleminded commie bashing and stay ignorant.

[LLBeet]

What planet are you from?

When the North Vietnamese soldiers conquered South Vietnam and found out how wealthy and advanced the population really was, they said "You should have come liberate us in the North".
