How to read this table
A blank cell means the information is not in our record, not that it does not exist. "Whereabouts unknown" means the family lost contact after the arrest. "Family believes murdered" is what the family told us; we have recorded it as their account and have not been able to confirm it. "Land" and "faith" mark cases where the reason given for the arrest was a refusal to give up farmland or a refusal to leave an unregistered church.
Corrections and additions
These records were compiled over years from families and witnesses, under conditions where a mistake is easy and a correction is dangerous. If you find an error in a name, a date or a village, or if you know of someone missing from this list, please contact us. If a person named here has been released, has died, or has asked to be removed, tell us and we will act on it.
Compiled from Dega Central Highlands Organization and Montagnard Foundation records of arrests in the Central Highlands, and prepared for this library in September 2026. The underlying records date from the 2000s and have not been updated since; treat every sentence as historical unless you can confirm it.
