Beaten activist Nguyen Van Dung
By Defend the Defenders, December 24, 2016
Nguyen Van Dung, a pro-democracy activist, has become the latest victim of the ongoing violence conducted by Vietnam’s security forces against local political dissidents, social activists and human rights defenders.
On December 23, when Dung was on his journey with his motorbike to the central province of Nghe An to celebrate Christmas with local activists, he was attacked by a group of ten plainclothes agents who travelled on five motorbikes and a car.
The assault occurred at Tinh Gia district in Thanh Hoa province on Friday afternoon. The plainclothes agents stopped Dung, took him into car and started to beat him. They robbed him of all his belongings, including the motorbike, a laptop, a cell phone, his wallet with identification papers and money (VND12 million, amounting to $520).
The attackers seized all of Dung’s clothes except his underwear short, threw him into a canal and left the scene.
As a result of the attack, Dung, head of a group of young pro-democracy activists called Hoang Sa, suffered numerous injuries all over his body. He said he felt pain after he was beaten by “well-trained” agents.
Left without any clothes or belongings, Dung received assistance from a local Catholic priest and friends in the parish of Thanh Thuy.
Dung is among the many Vietnamese activists who have been attacked by plainclothes agents in December. Other victims include Mr. Truong Minh Huong from Ha Nam, and Mr. Nguyen Cong Huan from Nghe An.
Vietnam’s authorities have also deployed thugs to attack the private residences of other pro-democracy activists such as Pham Van Troi in Thuong Tin district in Hanoi and Tran Duc Thach in Dien Chau district, Nghe An.
Hundreds of Vietnamese democracy activists have been brutally beaten by security forces in police stations or on the streets so far this year, according to Defend the Defenders’ statistics.
