Thank you for your work defending human rights in Vietnam @anna_cavazzini

No to this trade agreement with Vietnam.
It sends the wrong signal to the Vietnamese government that is systematically attacking human rights.
It does not live up to the principles of the #EUGreenDeal @hrw @GreensEFA @PowerShift_eV @NetzWelthandel @amnesty @fidh_en

"The raid and the unexplained death of the popular local leader, 84-year-old Le Dinh Kinh, have caused huge public controversy. The government has blamed the officers' deaths on "rioters", but locals say police used excessive force."

"#Vietnam's national authorities must launch an impartial and transparent investigation of these events that gets to the bottom of what happened, who is responsible for the violence, and whether police used excessive force" says @hrw on #DongTam incidents. https://t.co/qCLGMOEgHj

Activist dies in #Vietnam prisons & officials won't even give the body back. “A lack of adequate food & health services is a huge problem in Vietnam’s prisons & even when prisoners are seriously ill they cannot get temporary medical release from prison" 1/ https://t.co/v82ykQsFKu

EP/AFET recommends EP should give its consent to EVFTA ”only if Vietnam expresses commitment and agree on clear timeline” to bring its laws to conformity w int’l HR standards, such as Penal Code, Cybersecurity, Freedom of Belief and Religion, Freedom of Assembly and Association.

I was very moved by the speedy and wholehearted solidarity that supporters expressed yesterday, and it was precisely this solidarity that pressured police to release me earlier than they desired (according to what they told me).

[VOICE @VoiceVietnam]

Our former staff, @Thao_Gao, has been detained at Hanoi's airport for more than 6 hours now. Before she returned to Vietnam, she spoke with @BBCWorld why she was risking her safety to return to Vietnam: "I love my country more than I fear my government." https://t.co/eG5dVMPTFL

"#Vietnam authorities should immediately release environmental & human rights activist Thao Dinh & permit her to reunite with 16 mo. old son and her parents. She done nothing wrong & she certainly doesn't deserve being detained & intensely interrogated at the #Hanoi airport" 1/3

[VOICE @VoiceVietnam]

Our former staff, @Thao_Gao, is currently detained at Hanoi's airport. After 4 years living overseas advocating for human rights in VN, she returned today and faces great risks from the Vietnamese Communist Party. But she says,
"I love my country more than I fear my government."

[Human Rights Foundation (HRF) @HRF]

HRF calls on the Vietnamese government to release activist Thao Dinh @thao_gao immediately. Thao has bravely spoken out against human rights abuses in Vietnam.

Worth considering: many of the #Vietnamese migrants who tragically died in the lorry in #Britain apparently came from #HaTinh province which was horribly impacted by #Vietnam gov't corruption/repression around #Formosa Steel industrial dumping disaster https://t.co/ijUTiL6wWO

I want to send gratitude and blessing to the kid who showed the Hong Kong shirt personally. Can the all of you help me do it? It means a lot to HK.

Very slick of China

See how China uses its sharp power in a kids movie. "The U-shape line is a feature used on Chinese maps to illustrate its claims over vast expanses of the resource-rich South China Sea." Read more https://t.co/JdvYbyQSy7
