On June 8, security forces in Vietnam’s Central Highlands province of Dak Lak kidnapped and tortured activist Nguyen Dang Vu from Ho Chi Minh City for two days when he visited the locality, the victim told Defend the Defenders.
Vu, who has participated in many peaceful demonstrations on environmental issues and other issues and posted a number of articles in his Facebook account Nguyễn Peng about human rights and multi-party democracy, was detained by a group of plainclothes agents upon his arrival in the city on the afternoon.
The kidnappers took him to a police station in Tan Lap ward, Buon Ma Thuot city where they tortured him, kicking his belly and causing great pain for him, Vu said.
Police also confiscated his belongings, including cell phones before taking him in a bus and forcing him to go back to HCM City in the late night of the next day. Vu said he was not supplied with food during 31 hours in police custody.
Along with political involvement, Vu has partaken in many charity events, going to remote areas to support the poor and children.
Last year, he was arrested by HCM City while attending anti-Formosa demonstrations. He was also beaten by thugs two times in 2016.
Along with arrests and imprisonments for trumped-up allegations, Vietnam’s security forces have also applied many other tactics to harass local political dissidents, human rights defenders and social activists such as economic blockage and kidnap and torture in a bid to silence them.
Victims of kidnap and torture include Truong Minh Tam from the Vietnam Pathway, Nguyen Cong Huan from the central province of Nghe An, Nguyen Trung Ton, president of the Brotherhood for Democracy, former prisoners of conscience Chu Manh Son and Nguyen Viet Dung, Nguyen Trung Truc and Mai Van Tam from Brotherhood for Democracy.
