Two Vietnamese Falun Gong practitioners are to face trial for transmitting programmes about their spiritual beliefs into China. The case of 30-year old Vu Duc and his 35-year old brother-in-law Le Van Thanh begins on Friday (9 April). If found guilty the pair face up to five years in jail. China has banned Falun Gong, they deem it a cult, and practitioners are jailed.
