[Viet Tan @viettan]

Viet Tan welcomes today’s adoption by the European Parliament of MEP Hannah Neumann’s landmark report on transnational repression (TNR), a strong signal that authoritarian regimes must no longer be allowed to target dissidents, journalists, and activists on European soil.

The vote comes just one week after the conference on Vietnamese transnational repression hosted by MEPs Saskia Bricmont and Jonas Sjöstedt together with Viet Tan, where victims and experts shared firsthand accounts of Hanoi’s cross-border intimidation and harassment.

Vietnamese victims of transnational repression, including journalist Le Trung Khoa, human rights lawyer Nguyen Van Dai, and activist Dang Thi Hue (Hue Nhu), were present in Strasbourg for today’s vote. Their courage and testimony have helped bring greater attention to the growing threat posed by transnational repression within the EU.

Today’s vote marks an important step toward accountability and protection for victims. Viet Tan looks forward to working with European institutions and democratic partners to ensure that no government can export repression beyond its borders with impunity.

#Vietnam is flagged as "Fully Authoritarian." Under To Lâm, crackdowns & transnational repression have intensified, leaving no room for dissent or fair courts.

Vietnam’s Decree 109/2024 grants police and local officials the power to suspend licenses and harass advocates of justice.  Lawyers for Lawyers warns that the new decree empowers local authorities to silence HR defenders and independent lawyers. #ProtectLawyers #RuleOfLaw

Next week, Vietnam will hold its 14th Communist Party Congress -- a major event that is conducted every 5 years to set new leadership & policies. Yet it's hardly in the international news. So what's really going on in #Vietnam?

Le Dinh Luong is a political prisoner in Vietnam. The Government of VN must immediately and unconditionally release Mr. Luong, ensure his humane treatment, protect his family's safety, and cease all forms of harassment and imprisonment of any human rights activists.
