Ha Mon is a local sect of Christianity, established in Kon Tum Province, Vietnam in 1999. However, the legal framework on beliefs and religions created bureaucratic restrictions to make sure that the government maintains control over every aspect of religion. Ha Mon did not pass these government specifications and was quickly listed as an invalid belief. Therefore, its followers have been forced to leave the religion or have been sent to re-education schools.
Kưnh, Lúp, and Jưr are three believers and active preachers of the Ha Mon religion. They have been constantly harassed by the public security of Gia Lai to the point that they had to move and live in the forest. This situation went on for eight years, as they were unofficially wanted by the local police.
On March 19, 2020, after a long time avoiding public security, they were all arrested together by the local police when the force found out where they were hiding in a Gia Lai forest.
