Vietnam has been accused of restricting religious freedom by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom. The report highlights recent crackdowns on civil society and independent religious communities, as well as reports of forced renunciations of faith. The God Loves Us Church, a group not recognized by the government, has faced harassment and threats, with police forbidding members from accessing online services and even threatening their families. The church's leader, Vu Thi Do, denies the accusations made by Vietnamese authorities and calls for an end to the crackdown on her church.
