Police in Dak Lak province have summoned many activists, including former prisoners of conscience Y Khen Bdap and Y Wen Nie to police stations while police in Gia Lai deploy plainclothes agents to station near private houses of local activists to prevent them from going out, said Mrs. Tran Thi Hong, wife of imprisoned Mennonite pastor Nguyen Cong Chinh.
Mrs. Hong, who is a member of the unsanctioned Vietnam Women for Human Rights, said the police from Gia Lai have threatened local Protestant followers, not allowing Christians to gather to celebrate Christmas.
