Ottawa, February 5, 2015 – Today Senator Thanh Hai Ngo issued the following statement in response to Nguyen Mai Trung Tuan’s postponed appeal trial:
“I am deeply concerned about the unreasonable trial process that followed the unfair arrest, and the harsh sentence of Nguyen Mai Trung Tuan.
“The Peoples Court of Long An province’s decision to further postpone Nguyen Mai Trung Tuan’s appeal trial without allowing him to apply for bail is another indication that the People’s Court system fails to follow its own proper procedures and respect the rights of a juvenile defendant.
“This unreasonable court process of a minor violates international law and stands as another disappointment to the already harsh prison sentence of 4.5 years, the fine of VND 42.6 million ($1,880), and the brutal treatment of the juvenile’s parents by the police.
“I call upon international human rights agencies and the international community to work together to challenge this unfair court decision and to take legal action, not only to ensure the immediate release of Nguyen Mai Trung Tuan, but also to protect the rights of minors and to uphold the land ownership rights of Vietnamese citizens.
