Vietnam: Pastor Quang is often beaten and arrested

In this report, you'll meet Rev. Nguyen Hong Quang, a Mennonite pastor who is considered by some to be one of the most hated men among Vietnam's ruling party. A trained lawyer, Pastor Quang has challenged the government repeatedly on its violations of religious freedoms. In the last 20 years, he has been arrested, imprisoned, slandered in newspapers and followed by police. In December 2010, an estimated 500 soldiers and police officers oversaw the demolition of a two-story building that was both Pastor Quang's home and the headquarters of the Vietnam Mennonite Church. Find out how recent events are only encouraging Pastor Quang to continue being a voice for those who have none.
