Security forces in Hanoi on July 23 shortly detained visiting political dissident Pham Ba Hai and requested him to return to Ho Chi Minh City where he resides.
Mr. Hai, a former political prisoner, was in his room in a hotel in the capital city’s center and security agents forcibly entered the room. They violently took him to the police station in Hang Trong ward and questioned about the purposes of his visit.
After the two-hour interrogation without receiving answers, police finally demanded Mr. Hai to leave Hanoi and return to Saigon, saying the request is made based on the local security.
Police said that the human right activist must leave the city as soon as possible, otherwise they will expel him by force.
On next day, the hotel owner asked Mr. Hai to leave the hotel, saying he don’t want to get trouble with local security forces.
Mr. Hai, an India-trained master, was imprisoned to five years in jail for anti-state propaganda in 2006. After being freed, he has devoted to fight for human rights in the one-party country.
Currently, he is a coordinator of the Former Vietnamese Prisoners of Conscience and a member of a number of human rights groups.
He has been a regular subject to police harassment. Last year, he was brutally beaten by security forces in Nghe An when he visited a local former prisoner of conscience.
Along being refused to obtain passport, he has also been banned to meet with foreign diplomats.
