The Front for the Liberation of Champa (French: Front pour la libération du Champa; abbreviated FLC) was a Cham nationalist organisation active in Ninh Thuan province and the Central Highlands of Vietnam.[1][2][3] It was founded in 1962 and merged with the Central Highlands Liberation Front and the Liberation Front of Kampuchea Krom to form the United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races (FULRO) in 1964.[4]
Sporadic protests and riots on a smaller scale still occur, and accusations of human rights violations by the government are common in minority areas. Neither the Cham nor the Vietnamese government want to unsettle the current balance.[5]
