In 2012, five Montagnard Dega in Dak Lak province send to jail and each of them get 4 years imprison and 2 years probation. With a very simple reason that when they were trying to protect their small patch of land for cultivating by hanging a written banner said << NO OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT OVER HERE>>.
I am please to repeat it is VERY and VERY simple reason that the Montagnard Dega can get long term into Vietnam communist government prison when they try to speak up about their ancestral lands.
You can see, comparing to this article story, how discriminatory , destructive , oppressive racial policy of Vietnam communist government toward Montagnard Dega peoples.
For the reason every Montagnard feeling it is to die when talking about the land.
We have been suffered almost forty two years now under communist Vietnam employed genocidal, ethnocidal policies.

Reply to this commentWhen the Montagnard Dega peoples in Central Highlands stand up in 2001-2004 request Vietnam communist government to respect their rights and to return their ancestral land, but they were facing with severely suppressed and forced to thousands of lives disappeared, hundreds are still in the prison of communist Vietnam.
The images of Montagnard Dega peoples have reinforced the tendencies on the part of Vietnam communist governments to establish destructive and oppressive racial policies. Efforts on the part of state to vilify indigenous Montagnard Dega are frequently preconditions for genocidal action .

I don’t believe this saga is over yet. The sadistic goons are only ‘making it nice’ and not even ‘playing nice’ for now.
This is their plan of ‘taking 1 step back then take 2 forward’! They had repeatedly done this over the years – especially when they need to re-group.
I expect more confrontation w/in 2-3 months. The corrupted top goons had already taken and divided the $$$ among themselves. The Company will want results soon – the land!
Typically, this is how it’ll go down if their lies don’t work. They will move in their troops, tanks, and guns during the night. By the time the people wake up, there is a built perimeter. Anyone comes w/in range will be shot! Hence, lives are still at risk here!
Knowing of what about to come, the villagers need to be vigilant. They need to keep clear of any troubles so they aren’t being picked up 1 by 1 before the hostile takeover. They need to have watch tower and alarm to alert of any suspicious activities. If not, it’s game over!
