Security forces in the Hanoi-based Noi Bai International Airport have detained Dr. Nguyen Quang A when he returned from abroad. Plainclothes agents have also beaten many activists who came to pick up the prominent dissident economist.
Dr. A took an international flight from the U.S. and landed in the airport at 9.30 am of September 1. Immediately, security agents took him to a special room for interrogation, Dr. A informed by telephone and facebook account.
Mr. A, who has posted a number of articles criticizing policies of the Vietnamese communist government, said he is very tired with detention after long travel from Los Angeles.
The Hungary-trained economist said on his facebook account A Nguyen Quang that police searched his suitcases and personal items such as computers and cell phones.
In the arrival hall, two sons of the prominent economist and dozens of activists have gathered and demanded for his unconditional release. Police denies of holding the economist who was a member of the Advisory Council of late Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet.
Activists reported that they are surrounded by policemen and plainclothes agents who have brutally attacked a number of activists, including female ones.
It is unclear when Hanoi’s police will release Dr. A while many land petitioners and other activists continue to go to the airport during night to support people who are under threat inside the airport areas.
The incident happens one day before the grand parade Vietnam will conduct to mark the 70th National Day, in which about 35,000 people will attend.
Dr. A was in Germany and the U.S. where he attended a number of workshops addressing human rights issues and socio-economic situations in Vietnam under the sole management of the ruling communist party.
Vietnam has deployed a number of measures against local political dissidents and human rights activists, including barring ones from going abroad and detaining others upon their returning.
Police have also hired thugs to brutally attack dissidents when they are traveling. Dozens of activists have been severely injured from assaults of police and thugs in recent months.
Vietnam’s leaders have pledged to improve its human rights records as the country is negotiating with 11 other countries on the Trans-Pacific Partnership pact. The country has also sought to deepen ties with the U.S. in a bid to deal with China’s aggressiveness in the East Sea.
