Hanoi-based pro-democracy blogger Ly Quang Son, a member of the Brotherhood of Democracy, has reported that he was brutally attacked by a Vietnamese government supporter last night [October 23] due to the victim’s posts on his Facebook page.
The attacker, a younger brother of the owner of the room Mr. Son is renting, kicked the victim on his neck and head, and used a sword to attack him. Son managed to avoid the deadly attacks, however, he still suffered a slight injury in his fingers.
During the attack, the thug said he is angry with articles of Son which criticize the communist government on its poor socio-economic management, human rights violations across the nation, and weak response to China’s violations of the country’s sovereignty in the East Sea.
The attacker has threatened to kill Son, and said the communist government will “kill other government critics” to protect the regime.
Informed about the incident, local police came but they took no actions against the attacker but told the victim to move out of the room for which he already paid fees in advance.
Son, a student in a university in Hanoi, is a member of the Brotherhood for Democracy, an unsanctioned organization fighting for multi-party democracy in Vietnam.
Mr. Son is the four victim of increasing violence of the Hanoi-based pro-government activists against local political dissidents and human rights advocates this week.
On October 21 and October 23, communist government supporters in Hanoi brutally attacked Nguyen The Trung, Nguyen Lan Thang and his wife Le Bich Vuong who have posted articles which aims to promote human rights and democracy. You can read more about the two consecutive assaults here:

and: /…/vietnam-pro-g…/.
Communists have ruled Vietnam for decades, and vow to keep the country under an one-party regime. The communist government has not tolerated criticism, using controversial articles of the country’s Penal Code to suppress local dissent.
Along arresting and imprisoning political dissidents and human rights defenders, Vietnam’s government has deployed secret agents, pro-government activists and criminals to assault government critics.
The list of the victims suffering from the government-assisting attacks includes Nguyen Chi Tuyen, Tran Thi Nga, Pham Minh Huong, Nguyen Lan Thang, Nguyen The Trung, Pham Minh Hoang, Nguyen Tuong Thuy, Trinh Anh Tuan, Trinh Ba Phuong, Chu Manh Son and Truong Van Dung.
