Allegations of ongoing harassment and violation of freedom of religion or belief of
independent religious communities in Viet Nam, as well as reprisals for co-operating
with the United Nations, its mechanisms and representatives in the field of human
rights. According to the information received, Mr. Nguyen Bac Truyen, a human rights
defender; independent Hoa Hao Buddhists; and Duong Van Minh believers have faced
grave reprisals before, during and after meeting with the United Nations Special
Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief during his visit to Viet Nam in July 2014.
In addition, concerns are expressed at the forced renunciation campaign launched
against Duong Van Minh believers in Bac Kan Province. Further, concerns are
expressed at the series of attacks that have taken place against the Evangelical
Mennonite Church since June 2014, including beatings, arrests and detention of
members of the Church, and raids and attacks at places of worship. There is also
imminent risk of the demolition of Lien Tri Pagoda due to an urban development
project in Thu Thiem Peninsula. Mr. Nguyen Bac Truyen was the subject of a previous
communication sent on 26 March 2014, see A/HRC/27/72 case no. VNM 4/2014.
