This is an important subject. Over the past few months, BPSOS has been attacked repeatedly online; our Facebook pages were suspended & we got them back up, but our Youtube channel is permanently closed down without reasons.

"Just four days after his detention, Vietnamese authorities announced that [Tibetan lama Tulku Hungkar Dorje Rinpoche] had died of a “heart attack,” despite his lack of any prior history with such an illness."

As #Vietnam tightens its #cybersecurity framework, a new draft decree reveals how #digitalprivacy may increasingly be shaped not just by protection but by state control. tinyurl.com/yc3ufphj

#Vietnam: We are appalled by arrest of journalist & former Voice of America contributor Le Anh Hung. After sentencing him to five years in inhumane conditions, regime rearrested him on trumped-up charges. We call for his release & that of all 28 journalists detained by regime.

#Vietnam : après l'avoir condamné à 5 ans de prison dans des conditions inhumaines, le régime a de nouveau arrêté le journaliste Le Anh Hung, ex-collaborateur de VOA, sous de fausses accusations. Nous demandons sa libération immédiate ainsi que celle des 28 journalistes détenus.

"Because the definitions are broad, the prohibited acts extensive, the enforcement authority concentrated in the police, and the verification process stripped of safeguards and time limits, it is difficult to conclude that this draft is solely concerned with combating fake news."

Four troubling contradictions in #Vietnam’s draft "#fakenews" decree reveal how vague rules could give #authorities sweeping power over #online speech. tinyurl.com/2knz32r8

For years, we have worked with the UN human rights mechanisms, @USCIRF, & the US State Department. The designation is the Vietnamese government's attempt to discredit & silence civil society, to intimidate people in Vietnam who collaborate with us, to cut the flow of information.

My point in telling you these things is that it's not just about Saudi Arabia. Vietnam is also a problem. Vietnam's labour export is a legalised form of human trafficking. Recruiting companies aren't punished; Ministry of Labour officials aren't investigated; embassy officials aren't prosecuted; victims of exploitation & abuse on these programmes are not recognised as victims of human trafficking, therefore they're not getting support & their complaints get ignored. Why? Because labour export brings in lots of money.
