In February 2001, several thousand members of indigenous minorities from Vietnam's Central Highlands, often collectively known as Montagnard, held a series of largely peaceful demonstration calling for independence, return of ancestral lands, and religious freedom. 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.
