IFEX - Mỗi ngày, từ ngày 01-23 tháng 11, chúng tôi sẽ tiết lộ một cá nhân đã bị đe dọa, tấn công hoặc tệ hơn nữa vì đã bày tỏ chính kiến. Trong tất cả các trường hợp, thủ phạm vẫn được tự do. Hãy đọc câu chuyện của họ. Hãy hành động. Trợ giúp để chấm dứt tình trạng những hành vi tội ác đã không bị trừng phạt.
Với mạng lưới bao gồm 90 thành viên hội đoàn độc lập khắp thế giới, IFEX (International Freedom of Expression Exchange network) đã tiến hành cuộc vận động "Ngày Quốc Tế chấm dứt tình trạng tội ác không bị trừng phạt". Người Việt Nam được đề cập đến trong chiến dịch này là blogger Nguyễn Hoàng Vi.
CALL TO ACTION Sign the petition calling on the Prime Minister of Vietnam to investigate the harassment and attacks of blogger Nguyen Hoang Vi and other bloggers, and to let her travel freely:
23 ACTIONS IN 23 DAYS: 18 NOVEMBER 2012.
Nguyen Hoang Vi (Blogger, Vietnam)
While 25-year-old Nguyen Hoang Vi (pen name An Do Nguyen) was at a birthday party in Ho Chi Minh this summer for her fellow bloggers, a group of 20 suspected state agents dropped in and started snapping pictures and listening in on conversations. The bloggers remained calm – state agents monitoring their activities was a normal affair.
But when Nguyen and four others left the party by car, they were followed by eight agents, who smashed two of the rear windows. Nguyen suffered the most serious injuries, with cuts on her arms, legs and face.
Nguyen believes the state is out to silence her since she started blogging critically about social issues and gathering news of public events such as anti-China protests and a clampdown on free expression.
When she was arrested to prevent her from reporting on an anti-China protest in June 2011, security agents set up camp outside her home to watch her and her son's every move. They still haven't left.
In October 2011, a state agent followed her on her motorbike and caused an accident, in which she lost seven teeth. She says she no longer travels by motorbike fearing another "accident".
She was laid off from her job in December 2011 due to pressure from government officials. In April 2012 on her way to Cambodia in search of work, she was stopped by border guards who prevented her from travelling, allegedly for being a "reactionary element". After that, her passport was confiscated and she can't travel abroad.
Not a single incident was investigated – perhaps no surprise, considering Vietnam's history of cracking down on bloggers. Just this September, Vietnam's leaders ordered police to arrest those responsible for anti-government blogs, and three bloggers were sentenced to up to 12 years in jail on anti-state propaganda charges.
Stand with Nguyen Hoang Vi and defend free expression.
A special thank you to the Southeast Asian Press Alliance (SEAPA), Free Journalists Network of Vietnam (FJNV) and Danlambao for contributing to this action.
