Extra Bio Info:

Y Min Ksor is imprisoned for his religious activity. 

In April 2018, authorities arrested Ksor, a member of the unregistered Good News Missionary Church, during a police raid on a house church service. Authorities accused him of spreading false information about Vietnam's violations of minority rights and religious freedom in order to convince people to join efforts to establish an independent state. Ksor was reportedly tortured during his interrogation and forced to sign an agreement to stop worshiping with his church. 

On an unspecified date, Ksor was sentenced to 14 years in prison and three to five years' probation for "undermining national unity policy" (Art. 87/1999 VCC).
