Your Excellency,
In 2004/05, your country promulgated new laws on religion which also guaranteed more freedom to Christians. Unfortunately, time and again events have shown that these promises have not been implemented. In the course of the last few years, some 250 communities of the “Vietnam Good News Church” (VNGNC) have formally applied for official government recognition of their churches. To the present, however, the requests have either been ignored or rejected. We also repeatedly hear of churches being destroyed.
As a matter of urgency, we ask you to see to it that the new religion laws are fully implemented in all your country’s regions and that Christians can freely practice their faith.
Yours sincerely and respectfully, |
