Laos, Vietnam troops kill four Hmong Christians

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Laotian and Vietnamese troops have killed four Hmong Christian women after confiscating their Bible, a US rights group said Friday, condemning growing persecutions of people for their faith in Laos.

The Center for Public Policy Analysis (CPPA) said the unarmed highland Hmong women were "summarily executed" on Thursday in northeastern Xieng Khouang province by soldiers from a special 150-member unit of the Lao People's Army (LPA) led by Vietnamese secret police and military advisers.

The government troops confiscated the group's only Bible, "brutally and repeatedly raped" at least two of the younger women before shooting them at point blank range with automatic weapons in the head and torso, it added.

Their husbands and 26 children were forced to witness the killings and have since disappeared after being beaten and tied up.

CPPA executive director Philip Smith denounced what he called a "tragic and major upswing" in religious persecution in Laos at the hands of Vietnamese and Laotian military and Communist Party officials over the past year.

"In a coordinated and expanded fashion, the Vietnam People's Army and LPA troops and security forces are especially determined to hunt down and kill independent Christian and animist believers in the highlands of Vietnam and Laos," he added.

So long as the USA has interests there I don't believe we'll ever get justice for our ppl still there. Just look at China, one of the biggest human rights abusers of the modern era and they are our best friend economically speaking. When was the last time you heard anyone in top political positions in the US make comments on China's human rights abuses?

I hear it on a weekly basis. 

Just because we don't hear about it in the media doesn't mean it doesn't get mentioned.


China urges U.S. to stop interfering in China's internal affairs with human rights report  

BEIJING, April 9 (Xinhua) -- China on Saturday urged the U.S. to stop interfering in its internal affairs under the pretext of human rights issues.

China and the U.S. have disagreements on human rights issues, about which we are willing to engage in dialogues based on equality and mutual respect, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said.

"But we are firmly against interfering in our internal affairs under the pretext of human rights issues," Hong said.

His comment came after the U.S. State Department released an annual report on human rights around the world and criticised China's human rights status.

What I meant to say is, if it's not making news in the media in the USA, the US population doesn't care.

I'd agree with that to a certain extent. People care, just not the majority (until its in the main stream media).
