Human Rights Watch quan ngại t́nh trạng Blogger Điếu Cày
WE ARE CONCERNED!
“Human Rights Watch is seriously concerned about the health of free expression advocate and political prisoner Nguyen Van Hai, also known as blogger Dieu Cay, who has been on hunger strike at Prison No. 6 in Nghe An province for 29 days. Dieu Cay is reportedly now in critical condition, imprisoned for simply exercising his rights. He’s reportedly undertaken this hunger strike to protest prison staff members’ abusive and discriminatory treatment towards him. It’s imperative that the government should publicly commit to Dieu Cay and his family that it will end such treatment, fully investigate who is responsible at Prison No. 6, and hold them accountable. The government should also immediately release Dieu Cay without conditions, along with other prisoners held for exercising their rights to express their views and peacefully act on their beliefs.”
- Phil Robertson, Deputy Director, Asia Division, Human Rights Watch.
