Welcome back human rights activist Chau Van Kham. After 4.5 years of arbitrary detention in Vietnam, I'm thrilled to see you re-united with your family and friends in Sydney.

Many thanks to the Australian government and everyone who worked hard to #FreeKham

Developments in #Thailand deserve more attention from the world. Is this the beginning of a revolution?

#Vietnam #Hanoi launch rapid test program for those visited biggest cluster Bach Mai last 20 days. High demand. Some turned away. People anxious & heath officials fear #coronavirus have outpaced their attempts. Massive work but matter of life & death. Race to detect the infected.

One unique thing about podcasts is there is almost full privacy on how you listen to podcasts. This open distribution makes it challenging to monetize but makes it harder for governments to interfere. #RightsCon @miguelmorachimo @hiperderecho
