CWN Editor's Note: A Vietnamese Christian has been sentenced to eight years in prison for “undermining the unity policy” of the country’s ruling regime.

The defendant, Rian Thih, “honestly testified and admitted the crime,” according to an official government newspaper. The charge of “undermining unity” has been used by government officials to justify action against proponents of religious freedom.
