Mr. Nguyen Tien Trung, for merely suggesting that Vietnam improve its human rights, was convicted in 2010 of plotting to overthrow the Vietnamese government. He was released over the weekend after serving four years of a seven-year sentence and now must now spend the next three years under house arrest.
Prior to his arrest in 2010, Mr. Trung had traveled to the U.S. and had met with President George W. Bush and numerous members of Congress to discuss human rights abuses in Vietnam. Congressman Mike Honda, who was one of the officials who knew Mr. Trung, said, “I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Trung when he was last in the U.S. and was very impressed with his sincerity in improving the human rights conditions in his country. I’m pleased to learn of his release and wish him well.”
