Vietnam: Dissident jailed for three years for subversion

10 Aug 2011

A Vietnamese court today sentenced French-Vietnamese activist Pham Minh Hoang to three years in prison on subversion charges for “carrying out activities aimed at overthrowing the people’s administration.” Authorities say he posted several anti-government articles online, and had ties to Viet Tan, a pro-democracy group that is banned in Vietnam.  He also faces three years of house arrest following the end of his prison term.
