Rơ Lan Jú, also known as Ama Suit, is an ethnic Jrai Christian. He was arrested in March 2009 for demanding religious and indigenous rights and tried in July 2009. He was sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment under Article 87 (Undermining the unity policy) of the 1999 Penal Code. He is last reported detained at Gia Lai prison camp.
He was due for release from prison in March 2018. The 88 Project has been unable to verify his release, and thus, we have listed him as "likely released - at risk." We acknowledge that he may still be imprisoned, and if he was released, he may still be at risk of harassment or even re-arrest.
