Prisoners of conscience: Gia Lai
Two hundred and thirty-three Dega from Gia Lai province, recorded by name as imprisoned for their faith, their land or their people, arrested between 2001 and 2006.

That blank column is itself the record’s clearest statement about how little news left this province. It is a record, not an argument. Every line is a person s...
