During the meeting in Fortuna hotel near the U.S. Embassy in the capital city, activists reported Vietnam’s human rights violations and the government’s harassments against local activists.
Activists said plainclothes were around and watched the event.
When the meeting finished and activists were going to leave the venue, they recognized a car with plainclothes agents in front of the hotel. Feeling they may be being detained by police, activists came back and asked the diplomats to escort them to safe places.
When Ms. Hang and Mr. Thuy got in a car, plainclothes agents chased them with their car. It took long time for the driver to escape from police.
This is the second harassment Ms. Hang faced within a week. On the noon of November 16, police detained Hang after a meeting with the EU Delegation, She was interrogated for hours and released her in the evening of the same day.
