Extra Bio Info:

Siu Hlom was imprisoned for his religious belief and activity.

In August 2010, authorities arrested Hlom after a series of protests in Gia Lai rubber plantations. Authorities accused him of being affiliated with Degar Protestantism, a religious movement not approved by the government, and being involved in separatist activities. 

On April 5, 2011, the People's Court of Gia Lai Province sentenced Hlom to 12 years in prison and three to five years' probation for "undermining national unity policy" (Art. 87/1999 VCC).

Hlom's sentence should have ended in August 2022.
