Democratic Voice of Vietnam

The Duong Van Minh religion is a variant sect of the Christian religion adopted by some Hmong ethnics. After 25 years of persecution the number of apparent followers of the Duong Van Minh religion has shrunk from some hundred thousand at the religion’s highest point to around ten thousand today, living mostly in four Northeastern provinces of Vietnam: Cao Bang, Bac Kan, Tuyen Quang and Thai Nguyen. Since the religion is not recognized as a “faith” the Vietnamese government openly orders its “eradication”. Nowadays repressive measures under administrative pretexts are used to destroy the organizational structure of the Duong Van Minh religion, harass its active leaders, discriminate and intimidate its followers.
