Baov, yes we agree and all we ask for respect of basic human rights. However the communist govt in Vietnan uses the 'overthrowing government" allegations as a justification for repression. As you know the ruling Hanoi regime are well practiced in cruel and devious propaganda. Also Kok Ksor has clarified the Montagnard position on his website and also Hanoi's allegations were rejected by the UN in 2004. Degar & Kinh people need to unite to bring true freedom to Vietnam for all the people there.

Yes, the Vietnamese communist government is one of the most repressive in Asia. The regime in Hanoi is a one party state that striclty free press. See Montagnard Foundation website for updates on the brutal nature of this government. Torture, beatings and corruption are the rewards Vietnam bestows on its citizens.

But weren't all the victims the ones involved in the protest I believe in 2004? They fled to places such as Cambodia, Thailand and awaits for the UN to refuge them. But some were unlucky and were sent back, especially by Cambodian police because they work with communist Vietnam. It's really sad with all the stories you'd hear from those who were fortunate enough to land safely in a foreign land.

[ScottJohnsonMFI]

Yes, many of the victims are result of the crackdown by the Vietnamese communist regime (protests in 2001 and 2004) However, Vietnam continues persecution thorughout the central highlands today.

Hi.

Thanks for uploading this.

I am montagnard also.

Another word for Montagnard is MTD.

So many people don't know what Montagnard or MTD mean.

I think it because MTD people is a really small group of pepople.

@EDEBOYZ

We can have ten millions of our people. But if also have ten millions goals there is not much different now. VN under-counted our people. I know we are more than what they say we are. We need to teach our younger generation about what happened to us, and look for the future with strong hope that one day we will have our place we can call MY COUNTRY./.

@38azn

Singa Ih? I believe if and when our people have same goal, know what we really want for our people, then we will a stronger voice. There are people much less than us yet they have strong voice to speak for their people. As a result, they have their self govern; people such as, MIZORAM in India, Eat Timor, in Indonesia, Inuit people in Greenland just to name a few. Let ask each of us what we're really want to have. Why we are what we are???
