HANOI, VIETNAM – A Vietnamese court has sentenced a U.S-trained lawyer and well-known dissident to 30 months in jail after finding him guilty of tax evasion.
The charges against Le Quoc Quan were widely considered to be politically motivated.
Quan’s case has been followed closely by U.S. government, which is pressing Vietnam’s Communist leaders to loosen their restrictions on those advocating democracy and greater respect for human rights.
The trial began and ended Wednesday in the capital, Hanoi.
Quan maintained his innocence throughout the trial, and told the court Wednesday the verdict was because of his political views.

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and appearance.
I must say you’ve done a very good job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Internet explorer.
Superb Blog!

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time
a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Many thanks!
