In the full HRW report, it goes into a lot of these details. Most interesting is the charges brought against these individuals. They are along the lines of, "Disturbing national security and breaking national unity", "Underming national security, organizing demonstrations, inciting refugees to flee", "Causing security and political instability", and other similar charges. I do not wish to get into the merit of these charges or defend the Vietnamese government, but there is clearly more going on than the simple prohibition of Christianity that many on here want to believe.
There is a very strong revolution going on in Vietnam and that is capitalism. The days of the 'socialist' government of Vietnam are numbered and soon, hopefully, there will not be a need for this type of discussion. The only discussion will be how to properly put on trial those who were responsible for the real re-education camps of the 1970s and early 1980s.

The Communist Vietnamese have always coveted economic control over the Montagnards' fertile Central Highlands of the Formerly Free South Vietnam.
Highly profitable Coffee Bean production being the 1st of the money reasons for doing so =
A purpose-led reduction in Montagnard population.

There's also going to be an interesting discussion about the return of properties siezed by the Communists, particularly in the south. I know that many Viet Khieu talk about suing the government for return of family property once WTO has settled in (many still have their deeds and titles).
But that's just a small part of a larger problem surrounding land-use, title registrations, leaseholds, etc. that the government will eventually have to face.
