Vietnam, Laos Uprising: 28 Hmong Protesters Killed
Washington, D.C., Bangkok, Thailand, and Vientiane, Laos, May 5, 2011

Thousands
of Viet-Hmong minority political and religious dissidents along the
Laos – Vietnam border, who are staging mass protests demanding religious
freedom and land reforms from the communist regime in Hanoi, have been
attacked by Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) troops and security forces in
the remote Dien Bien province of Vietnam. Twenty-eight (28) ethnic Hmong
people, protesting against government policies, are confirmed dead in
recent days, with hundreds more missing, along the Laos -Vietnam border
area of the the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV), according to Lao
Hmong non-governmental organizations, and the Center for Public Policy
Analysis in Washington, D.C.
Large
numbers of Vietnam People’s Army infantry and mechanized troops, as well
as Lao People’s Army (LPA) soldiers, were rushed to the Dien Bein
border area at the direction of the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces
of the SRV on May 3-5, 2011. Ground attack helicopters were also
reportedly dispatched from bases in Laos and Vietnam by the VPA, at the
direction of the armed forces Chef of Staff of Vietnam. General Tran
Quang Khue, and other VPA generals, who dominate the politburo in
Vietnam, have reportedly played a major role in the crack-down, and
deployment of the armed forces, against the peaceful Hmong protesters.
“We
are concerned about credible reports that many poor and ordinary Hmong
people in the Dien Bein area, as well as other people along the Vietnam
and Laos border, have been arrested or killed by Vietnamese Army, and
Lao Army, soldiers and police because of their protests for land reform
to Communist officials in Hanoi, their opposition to illegal logging, or
because of their independent Christian and Animist religious beliefs ,”
said Christy Lee, Executive Director of Hmong Advance, Inc.(HAI) in
Washington, D.C.
Ms. Lee continued:
“Ordinary Hmong people, and other highland and forest-dwelling minority
peoples in Laos and Vietnam, have also been subjected to a new and
increasing injustice by the authorities and Vietnam People’s Army-owned
companies, which continue their oppressive methods, religious
persecution, and to engage in illegal logging in Vietnam and Laos,
including the Dien Bien area in Vietnam, as well as the Laotian
provinces of Xieng Khouang, Khammoune, Luang Prabang and elsewhere.”
“The
Hmong, and other minority Christian and Animist religious believers,
are being driven of their lands and killed and persecuted by corrupt
Communist party officials and the military elite in Vietnam and Laos,”
Ms. Lee stated.
“At least
twenty-eight Viet-Hmong are known to have been killed, and 33 wounded,
in recent attacks by Vietnam People’s Army troops in the Dien Bien area
of Vietnam,” said Philip Smith, Executive Director of the Center for
Public Policy Analysis (CPPA) in Washington, D.C.
The
non-governmental organizations, including the CPPA, HAI, Hmong
Advancement, Inc. and others, cite Hmong, Vietnamese and Lao sources
inside the area of Dien Bien provice where the Hmong are currently
staging mass protests against Vietnam’s communist and military
authorities.
“The Viet-Hmong people
fleeing to Laos from Dien Bien province, during the recent
anti-government protests and crackdown in Vietnam, have also been
arrested by Lao security forces and VPA troops who are working closely
together to jointly seek to arrest, persecute and kill them,.” Smith
stated.
“In recent days, significant
numbers of Vietnam People’s Army troops from Hanoi, and security forces
from Laos, have been deployed for special military operations directed
against the Hmong minority people, and independent religious believers
and political dissidents, along the Vietnam – Laos border and the Dien
Bein province area of Vietnam,” Smith observed.
Smith
continued: “At least seventeen Viet-Hmong Christians were killed and 33
wounded on May 3rd in the Dien Bien Province, and Dien Bein Phu, areas
of Vietnam bordering Laos n attacks by VPA military forces. All of these
people were independent Catholic and Protestant Christian believers.
Additionally, eleven independent Viet-Hmong animist believers were also
known, and confirmed, to have been killed on the same day by Vietnam
People’s Army forces. .”
“Hundreds of
Viet and Lao-Hmong minority peoples are also missing after the attacks
directed against the peaceful protesters by the Vietnamese government
forces in the Dien Bein area,” Smith stated.
“In
addition to the seventeen Hmong Christians, an additional eleven
independent Viet-Hmong animist believers were also confirmed killed on
the same day by VPA forces because they also were accused of worshiping
outside of the communist government’s control in Hanoi and because they
were standing up for land reform and the religious freedom of the
Viet-Hmong and Lao-Hmong people,” Smith continued.
“Lao-Hmong
forest and highland-dwelling people who have fled horrific religious
persecution as well as illegal logging by Vietnam People’s Army-owned
companies in Laos continue to flee to Vietnam and Thailand as political
refugees by the hundreds each year,” Smith concluded.
In
December of 2009, Thailand forced some eight thousand Lao Hmong
political refugees back to Laos, despited international protests. They
were put under the direction of the Deputy Chief of the Lao Armed Forces
who was previously accused by human rights and international
humanitarian organizations of taking a leadership role in perpetuating
atrocities and egregious human rights violations against Lao Hmong
civilians, including the rape, murder and mutilation of Lao Hmong women
and children.
Lately, the VPA and SRV
have played a significantly increased role in Laos, with hundreds of
additional troops and security forces from Vietnam being deployed in
Laos in recent years.
