Vietnam Government stops democracy

, , , ...

A Vietnamese court has sentenced pro-democracy activist Tran Anh Kim to five-and-a-half years in prison for subversion against the communist state. He was charged of conducting Propaganda against the state.
Also the Vietnamese people should enjoy freedom of speech and this is a serious attack on this human right.

This seems to be one of many steps taken by the Vietnamese government to prevent democracy movements in Vietnam ahead of the Communist Party Congress scheduled in the beginning of 2011

Also Le Cong Dinh, arrested in June, was first accused of a lesser charge of spreading anti-government propaganda. Mr Dinh is expected to go on trial in the next few weeks, alongside three other dissidents. Mr Dinh, Mr Trung and Mr Thuc face a minimum of 12 years in prison or even the death penalty.

Does the Vietnamese people want freedom of speach? The international communities will surely support any movements towards opening Vietnam for freedom of speach.
