Hmong want leader freed

“We look forward to proving him innocent”

SACRAMENTO - Thousands of Hmong took to the streets here Monday to protest the incarceration of a revered former military leader and 10 other men accused of plotting the armed overthrow of the communist regime in Laos. Throngs of older expatriates from the war-torn Southeast Asian nation and their U.S.-reared offspring rallied in front of the state Capitol and later ringed the federal courthouse, where Laotian Gen. Vang Pao and his alleged accomplices pleaded not guilty to a five-count indictment. The daylong demonstration - complete with placards bearing the general's likeness and shouts of 'freedom' - marked the third time since the arrests earlier this month that members of the Central Valley's large Hmong community have gathered here to protest a case they consider a betrayal. During the Vietnam War, thousands of the Laotian hill people under the leadership of Vang Pao waged a stealthy war against communist forces with U.S. help. Historians credit the Hmong effort with slowing the military march of North Vietnam and saving the lives of thousands of U.S. military personnel. After the fall of Saigon in 1975, many Hmong fled their country's communist rulers, but thousands remain. In recent years, human rights groups have reported several cases of Hmong being captured, tortured and killed by Laotian forces. Meanwhile, the U.S. retains diplomatic relations with Laos and continues to provide aid. Read more

It is true that everybody in this country "democracy world" should live under the law, and everybody have to learn and understand the US law, not the Hmong law. Any acts against the law "neutrality" like planning a terrorist plot will be sentenced for life in a prison.

you hmong people are stupid, you know because of Vang pao you all got a lot of problems in Laos. He is cheating you all the time just for himselt profits, when you hmong people got problems he never try to help and save you. you know he got million and million dollars from US just to make troubles in Laos, and then he just hire you hmong people to kill Lao people such as have been shoting buses and cars. I'd say this is not the right thing that you Hmong people doing, please think about it why Lao government have been violencing you hmong people this is because of you hmong people making the troubles all the time. I am also belong to apart of minority in Laos, but we never have any porblems never been violencing by Lao government because we didn't make any troubles or kil people.
so in here, i'd like to say that Vang pao is a bad man or a gangster or a terrorist, please wake up you hmong people, do not try to kill anybody in my Laos.
Finally, we Lao people very enjoying our lives in Laos right now, and we are very safe in Laos. We do not want Wang pao to bomb Laos, we are not welcome him.

Don't labels Hmong people are stupid. NO one is stupid. But yes, I agreed with you about Vang Pao and his fellows. Yes, he cause alots of problems with people in Laos. Because he still funding the rebels. Yes, he is consider a terrorist and danger man to country of Laos and also in USA. US been warning many time, he just don't listen. That is why they spend 6 months undercover and investigated, now they got him good to put him always for long time.

Can some one give me any proof or websites or anything that can show me that hmong people are the one blowing up buses and cars in Laos? Cause I don't really belive this things you guys are talking about. Don't you guys think that it might be the government's own idea of doing this so that they can kill us hmong only?

We have not heard from the Gen. Vang Pao what his intention was. However, everyday all we heard is from the people who tended to be VP's friends at first and betrayed him than put him into jail.

With all the facts that we've found out from elders and Hmong community relations specialist, Gen. VP was not intended to overthrow the communist government but to expose the truth to the world of what's really happening to the Hmong people in Lao. Until today, the Raping, Torturing and Killings of the Hmong people in Lao.

I don't believe that the Gen. Vang Pao “77-years old, with heart by passed, gallbladder surgery, stroked, high blood pressure, diabetes, and super poor health that needed insulin everyday” wants to overthrow the communist governments to rule the country of Lao. To me, of all the accusations here doesn’t add-up.

Oh by the way what are the sentences for communist goverment official that raped, tortured, and killed women and children in Lao. Do you know? You do that to my people and I'll show you what the sentence is.

I first off would like to say that everyone has rights to their own opinion. But do they really understand the underlying problem. We as Laos and Hmong living under the same country should try to understand eachother better. Rely on reasoning instead of emotions. The Laotion government is not being enforced by true Laotion leaders. They are being governed by mainly North Vetamise Government. Everyone get the facts straight and look for the truth!!!
Proud to be Hmong

Hey my fellow Hmong people on here, if you have not noticed, it seems that some idiot(s) on this board is going around deleting some of our replies and only leaving the replies that point fingers/blames at each other on here. The replies that are left alone only shows us Hmong, Lao-Hmong and Lao people bickering, barking up each others arse and wasting each others time here. It seems that the owners of this board likes the traffic we keep generating for them and the money that we keep bringing because of the traffic to this site, but they only care about letting us bark at each other and waste our times here without any real results to show in the real world. I'm done playing this game with them and I hope that most of you are smart enough to see the same and leave this place. I'm not giving them anymore of my time nor helping them line their own pockets with money with my time here. Let us go over to one of our Hmong sponsered message form and help them instead. Chow!

Ok, here is to all you mofos that think you all know the truth about this whole mess. If your Laos why are you here in America. Why aren't you in Laos taking orders from your friend from Vietnam. Yeah, thats right. You want freedom. So does everyone. But just a reminder that not only the Americans was trying to help communist. Majority fighting communisim was HMONG. Laos is a garbage place to be anyways. Curse the Laotion & Vietnamese people!! FUCK YOU ALL! GENERAL VANG PAO TO THE END!!! Go back to laos so i can make you suffer. Rats!

Vang Pao and his fellows are so dummmb.. how can he save his people?. He is here and they are there... Lao govermente don't recognize Vang Pao.. they just want his head. I don't think by trying to overthrow the communist party wouldn't bring peaceful solutions either. You guys a bunch of looser. I know for FACT.. Laos never change.... and you people here are not part of Laos anymore..since you all US citizen. IF you are US citizen you can go visit any country you want ..and obey their rule and Law...

Why Hmong people aways start trouble everywhere they go...I don't see lao,Viet,cambo and thai.. having problems...
