(ICC) – ICC is receiving reports that military units have been sent into Pleiku and Dak Lak provinces in Vietnam . These regions are in the Central Highlands where over 200 Montagnard Christians were killed over the Easter Holiday. Since that time the Vietnamese government has had the region sealed off to all outsiders, and it is believed that the military has been sent in to ensure that this sealing off of the region from the public eye continues. It is reported that 9 divisions are being sent in, which is a huge number of military personnel for a small region. It remains to be seen how they will go about ensuring that the region remains sealed.
