Extra Bio Info:

A Kuin was imprisoned for his religious belief and activity.

In 2013, authorities arrested Kuin, a member of the unregistered Ha Mon Catholic Church, after he attended a prayer gathering at a religious site in his village. 

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

Kuin's sentence should have ended.
