Vietnamese authorities responded with a massive show of force, deploying thousands of police and soldiers to disperse the protesters. In the weeks and months following the demonstration, authorities arrested hundreds of highlanders, sometimes using torture to elicit confessions and public statements of remorse by protest organizers.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Human Rights Watch</note> <subject> <topic>Montagnards (Vietnamese people) -- Religion</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">323.119593</classification> <classification authority="ddc">H918-W32</classification> <identifier type="isbn">1564322726</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/23/default.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/7/23/default.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070713.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
