Nguyen Tien Trung

Blog: http:// 360.yahoo.com/blog-i3Ms.X8lfKiENe1VLHg8

Location: Vietnam

14° 36' 17.4492" N, 108° 11' 36.0924" E

Status: Under Arrest
Arrested on 07 Jul 2009

Nguyen Tien Trung, an active member of the Vietnam Democratic Party, was arrested on 7 July, just a few hours after being discharged from the army for refusing to take an oath. The Vietnam Democratic Party was revived in 2006, after being disbanded for 20 years. The policemen who took him away from his home in Ho Chi Minh City were led by the same officer who arrested dissident lawyer Le Cong Dinh last month.

Aged 25, Nguyen Tien Trung could be charged under article 88 of the criminal code although relatives and friends insisted to Reporters Without Borders that he has never been involved in any anti-Vietnamese activity. (RSF)
