Vietnamese human rights defender Nguyen Thuy Hanh, who was arrested for spreading information opposing the state, was taken to a psychiatric hospital without her family’s knowledge, her husband claimed in a Facebook post on Monday.
Hanh was arrested on Apr. 7, 2021, for “making, storing, or spreading information, materials or items for the purpose of opposing the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,” without any access to a lawyer and her family.
