Mennonite Christian released from prison

Mennonite Christian Nguyen Van Phuong was released March 3, five months after a trial in which he and five other Mennonites were tried and sentenced for “inciting people to obstruct officials from carrying out their duties.” Phuong, who had been sentenced to a year, appeared to be in fair health. He is the third of the group to have been released since the trial. (The Christian Post, March 10).
