Father Thadeus Nguyen Van Ly prepared to celebrate Mass on the morning of May 17, 2001, hundreds of police officers appeared at his church and arrested him... A long-time, outspoken advocate for religious freedom in Vietnam, Father Ly was sentenced to 15 years in prison for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression and religion.
