A family of five Vietnamese Montagnards, including two children and an infant, who had fled their homes and crossed the border into Cambodia, were discovered in the Cambodian Ratanakiri jungle and arrested on 1 February.

Handcuffed, they were detained by police and taken to a secret location. No further news as to their whereabouts has yet been given.

Four different groups of ethnic Montagnards fled to Cambodia in January alone, the latest a large group of 18 Christians on 28 January. ‘We are [Christian] worshippers – the Vietnamese authorities stopped us from practising Christianity’ and ‘threatened to imprison us’, said one Vietnamese Montagnard in the latest group to flee.
