The Underground
Hundreds of Vietnamese security forces attacked recently 100 Degar Catholics while they were worshiping, including women, children and elderly, leaving 22 injured and one crippled.
The attack occurred in Ploi Kret Krot, a highland village in Gia Lai province bordering Cambodia. This is the third attack on Christians in the province, the other two occurring in Ploi Kuk Kong and Ploi Kuk Dak villages, Montagnard Foundation reported.
Villagers were threated with arrest if they told media overseas. Vietnam has, of late escalated a crackdown on Catholics and Christians, some say in light of its pending congress (its first in five years) to meet in January.
