Viet Nam Allegedly Hospitalizes Clergyman For Religious Beliefs

In a story reminiscent of Soviet practices 50 years ago, Christian Today now reports from Viet Nam that Rev. Than Van Truong of the Baptist General Conference has been unjustifiably held in a mental hospital because of his religious beliefs since September 2004. His troubles apparently began after he wrote several articles on religion and sent Bibles as gifts to Viet Nam's top government officials.
