The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has prompted Vietnam authorities to stop violating “fundamental freedoms” and called for the immediate release of four rights and land activists who were jailed for “spreading anti-state propaganda.”
Ravina Shamdasani, OHCHR spokeswoman, said Vietnamese authorities have jailed four prominent human rights defenders—Trinh Ba Phuong, Nguyen Thi Tam, Do Nam Trung, and Pham Doan Trang—in the span of three days this week.
