WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The Washington, DC based human rights group, International Christian Concern (ICC - www.persecution.org) has received reports that the Vietnamese government recently burned more than ten homes of tribal Christians in Suoi Rut hamlet, Doi Sau village, Quang Ngai province. The affected families were forced to flee their village on July 21, 2005, and are now searching for a new area to reside in.
The homes of ten Hre tribal Christians were destroyed because they refused to deny their faith. The victims belonged to the Evangelical Church of Vietnam (ECVN), which has formal recognition by Vietnamese government. The local Communist authorities of Son Thuong village, Quang Ngai province have publicly stated that "the Christian religion is America's religion, and is not allowed here."
The following is a statement from a pastor of the Hre tribe:
"On Sunday, August 21, 2005 at 8:00 A.M., Mr. Dinh van Hoanh, police chief of Son Thuong village and his assistant, Mr. Thai Mai Quan, came to Mr. Dinh van Hoang's house and said: 'We do not allow any Christians to live here. If you want to stay you must sign this paper to declare that you and your family are renouncing your faith'.
Mr. Hoang refused to do so. The police chief then called numerous officials, including Mr. Dinh van Xoa, hamlet chief, and Mr. Dinh van Hoach, his assistant, to come and destroy Hoang's house.
They then told Mr. Hoang that if he recanted his faith, they would rebuild his house. Mr. Hoang again refused, and the authorities then destroyed his animal pens."
Vietnam was named a Country of Particular Concern (CPC - meaning they are one of the world's worst violators of human rights) by the US State Department last year. Once a country is named a CPC, the State Department is then supposed to issue penalties or benchmarks of improvement within six months.
The State Department failed to issue benchmarks or penalties against the Vietnamese government this past spring due to political pressures and assurances from the Vietnamese government that this type of behavior would cease. Unfortunately, the persecution of tribal Christians has brazenly continued with no discernable change in tenor or volume.
ICC strongly recommends that concerned individuals contact their congressional representatives. To find your elected representatives, you can go to the following web sites: http://www.senate.gov/ http://www.house.gov/
Individuals should also contact the Vietnamese embassy to voice their opinions of that country's treatment of its Christian citizens.

Vietman and Fonda's legacy.
Why can't this woman be brought to justice? She should be the first in a line of prosecutions for Treason.
Someone out there that has the wherewithall please make it right.

| Quote: | Conclusion
For the record, the charge of “Hanoi Jane” still “lingers today” because Jane Fonda willingly (and illegally) went to the aggressor enemy’s capital in the midst of a major war and repeatedly made propaganda broadcasts intended to persuade American forces to refuse to carry out their orders. She also willingly reinforced the enemy’s propaganda lies by denying American POWs had been tortured. She then returned home, and used her “first-hand knowledge” to deceive congressmen into believing that America was routinely committing war crimes and doing other evil things. And as a direct consequence of her efforts and those of many others, Congress was persuaded to make it unlawful for the United States to continue defending the people of non-Communist Indochina. To finish the story, that legislation permitted her Communist friends to conquer their neighbors in 1975 and carry out the slaughter of an estimated three million human beings. Tens of millions of others continue to be consigned to a totalitarian regime that remains among the “worst of the worst” in terms of denying human freedom.
Because of this clear record of what many believe to have been treason, millions of Vietnam veterans and other Americans continue to view Jane Fonda as a despicable traitor. In my view, the anger is justified. But I could understand it if some readers came away with a different view of Jane Fonda. Rather than an articulate, intelligent, willing accomplice of our nation’s enemy who helped bring about genocide and the virtual enslavement of tens of millions of people America had solemnly pledged to protect; some may well read how poor pitiful Jane wasn’t really very bright, grew up in a dysfunctional environment where her parents didn’t give her enough attention, and spent her life desperately trying to satisfy the “men” in her life. And when she went to live in France and married a “small-C” communist, he and his friends told her so many evil things about her country that she just had no choice but to believe them and to devote her life to furthering their cause. Yes, she committed treason repeatedly in the process and helped bring about incalculable human suffering. It’s kind of like when husband Roger Vadim wanted her to bring street whores into their marital bed. In Fonda’s own words, “I’m so good at becoming whatever my man wants me to be. I can convince myself of practically anything in the name of pleasing.”[170]
Despicable traitor? I think yes. Poor little misunderstood victim as well?
You be the judge. |
