Latest NewsVietnam Christians imprisoned11 January 2013Fourteen Christians in Vietnam have been given prison sentences after they were tried for "activities aimed at overthrowing the Government". The group - who are all Catholics bar one - were sentenced to between three and 13 years. One was given a suspended sentence.

The human rights organisation Amnesty International said on Thursday that the activists' sentencing was unjustly severe and called for their unconditional release, adding that the arrests were part of a worrying trend.
