Authorities in Vietnam’s central province of Khanh Hoa have placed Nguyen Huu Quoc Duy in a solitary cell immediately after a trial on August 23 in which he was sentenced to three years in jail on allegation of conducting anti-state propaganda under Article 88 of the country’s Penal Code, his family told Defend the Defenders (DTD).
Speaking with DTD, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Nay, the mother of Duy, said that on August 29, she went to the Phuoc Dong prison in Nha Trang city where he is held and asked to visit him, however, the prison’s authorities said they were not permitted by the province’s Police Department to allow him to meet with his relatives.
However, the Khanh Hoa province’s Police Department denied to give such a ban, Mrs. Nay said.
Other sources say that Duy is placed in solitary confinement after the trial on Tuesday last year in which he was defended by a lawyer appointed by the local authorities although his family already asked human rights lawyer Vo An Don to provide legal assistance for him. In addition, Mrs. Nay was detained by local police on the court day so she was unable to attend the trial.
Mrs. Nay expressed her concerns that the prison’s authorities may not provide papers and pencils for her son so he will not able to write a letter to ask for appeal.
Meanwhile, Nguyen Huu Thien An, Duy’s cousin, was given a lighter sentence of two years in prison after he confessed for wrongdoing and begged for mercy from the court. His family was allowed to visit An immediately after the trial.
Vietnam’s authorities have continued its suppression against prisoners of conscience even after trials, especially in cases in which the sentenced prisoners have not admitted their wrongdoings.
In Vietnam’s prisons, prisoners of conscience are facing inhumane treatments of prisons’ authorities who try to break their mentality. In addition to solitary confinements, prisoners may not be allowed to receive material supports from their families or are forced to work hard without being paid.
Many political prisoners have conducted hunger strikes to protest inhumane treatments against them and other inmates.
