(Christian Post) – The sole woman among six Mennonite church workers sentenced to prison in Vietnam last November has been transferred to a hospital that treats the mentally ill, sources reported Thursday. According to the Mennonite World Conference (MWC), the move to the hospital in Bien Hoa, fifty kilometers north-east of Ho Chi Minh City, follows a concerted international appeal to Vietnamese authorities to provide Le Thi Hong Lien with the care and treatment she needed. Prior to her transfer, Le was reportedly suffering in prison from severe mental illness for many months. Le, a zealous church worker who specialized in teaching the Bible to small children, was arrested on June 30, 2004 nearly three months after a Mar. 2 incident involving the five men that were tried with her following their earlier arrests.
