Embassy Statement on Dinh Nguyen Kha and Nguyen Phuong Uyen
Hanoi, 17 May 2013
We are concerned by a Vietnamese court’s sentencing of Dinh Nguyen Kha to eight years in prison and Nguyen Phuong Uyen to six years in prison on subversion charges.
These convictions are part of a disturbing trend of Vietnamese authorities using charges under national security laws to imprison government critics for peacefully expressing their political views.
These actions are inconsistent with the right to freedom of expression and, thus, Vietnam’s obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and commitments reflected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
We call on the government to release prisoners of conscience and allow all Vietnamese to peacefully express their political views.

Howdy! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this article reminds
me of my previous roommate! He continually kept preaching about this.
I am going to forward this post to him. Pretty
sure he’s going to have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!

I usually do not leave many remarks, however I browsed a few of
the remarks here Embassy Statement on Dinh Nguyen Kha
and Nguyen Phuong Uyen | Defend the DefendersDefend
the Defenders. I do have a few questions for you if you do not
mind. Is it only me or does it seem like some of these responses look like they are left by brain dead individuals?
😛 And, if you are posting on additional places,
I would like to keep up with you. Could you make a list of every
one of your social pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed,
or linkedin profile?

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Safari.
I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with
web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
The design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon.
Kudos
