Imprisoned Mother Mushroom has two children, eleven and four years old
By Defend the Defenders, July 3, 2017
Authorities in Vietnam’s central province of Khanh Hoa have not allowed to allow Mrs. Nguyen Thi Tuyet Lan to visit her daughter Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh, a prominent human rights campaigner and environmental activist who was sentenced to ten years on allegation of “conducting anti-state propaganda” under Article 88 of the country’s 1999 Penal Code three days ago.
On July 3, Mrs. Lan came to the province’s detention facility and filled a request for meeting with the well-known blogger with pen name Mother Mushroom, however, the facility’s authorities returned her letter and rejected her request.
They said they are holding the human rights activist but the province’s security forces are eligible for taking decision to allow visiting her or not.
Mrs. Lan said the refusal is a revenge against the blogger who did not commit guilty during the unfair trial on Thursday last week.
Ms. Quynh was kept incommunicado during pre-trial detention from October 10, 2016 until June 20, 2017, nine days prior to her first hearing when she was allowed to meet her lawyers for the first time to prepare her defense.
Her mother was allowed to meet her shortly one day before the trial while her children have not been permitted to meet with their mother since her arrest last year.
Some bloggers said Khanh Hoa province’s authorities had not provided her with basic hygienic materials during the pre-trial detention between October last year until late June this year.
Vietnam has drawn great international condemnation for sentencing Mother Mushroom who was awarded with a Hellman Hammett grant from Human Rights Watch in 2010 as a writer defending free expression, the 2015 Civil Rights Defender of the Year award of Civil Rights Defenders in 2015 and the International Women of Courage award from the U.S. State Department this year.
