Print Fact Sheet
On
February 19, 2007, Father Nguyen Van Ly was arrested in Hue, Vietnam
for distributing material “harmful to the state.” In March, he was
sentenced to eight years in prison. He has issued statements
criticizing the government’s confiscation of church property, lack of
seminary training and the influence of the state in church teachings.
We invite you to write a letter of encouragement to Father Ly. We have
experienced incredible results when readers write to believers who have
been imprisoned for their faith. The letters often result in shorter
prison sentences. Send a letter of encouragement to Father Ly and let
him know you are praying. Also, write to the Vietnamese government
requesting he be released. Let your friends know about suffering
believers in Vietnam and encourage them to pray and write too. Get
involved. Pray and write today.
