religious activity or religious freedom advocacy; po-
lice and government officials are not held fully ac-
countable for abuses; independent religious activity 
remains illegal; and legal protection for government- 
approved religious organizations are both vague and 
subject to arbitrary or discriminatory interpretations 
based on political factors. In addition, improvements 
experienced by some religious communities are not 
experienced by others, including the Unified Bud-
dhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV), independent Hoa 
Hao, Cao Dai, and Protestant groups, and some eth-
nic minority Protestants and Buddhists. Also, over 
the past year, property disputes between the govern-

thugs’ against peaceful prayer vigils and religious 
leaders.’’.
