Conviction of Truong Duy Nhat
We are deeply concerned by a Vietnamese court’s sentencing of Truong Duy Nhat.  We call on the Vietnamese government to release Truong Duy Nhat and all prisoners of conscience, and allow all Vietnamese to peacefully express their political views.

Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman raised human rights with the Vietnamese government during her March 4 visit to Hanoi.
