Human rights lawyer Le Quoc Quan (3rd R, with glasses) stands with a Catholic priest and believers near security personnel before he is arrested by police during Cu Huy Ha Vu’s trial in Hanoi April 4, 2011. Vu, a legal scholar who sued Vietnam’s prime minister and called for an end to one-party rule, was sentenced on Monday to seven years in prison in one of the Communist country’s most important political trials in years. The Hanoi People’s Court convicted Vu, the 53-year-old son of a Vietnamese revolutionary leader, of spreading propaganda against the state. Police detained human rights lawyer Le Quoc Quan and pro-democracy activist Pham Hong Son who were among about two dozen supporters congregating outside the courthouse, witnesses said.
