HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Vietnamese police have detained a blogger for
posting comments critical of the communist government in the latest
crackdown on dissent.
Hong Le Tho, 65, was taken into police custody in southern commercial
hub of Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday, the Ministry of Public Security
said in a statement posted on its web site. The statement says his house
was searched.
It says that Tho posted “online articles with bad content and false
information that discredit and create distrust among people about state
agencies, social agencies and citizens, under Article 258 of the Penal
Code.”
His blog “Nguoi Lot Gach” or “A Brick Layer” could not be accessed after he was detained.
The U.S. government has urged Vietnam to improve its human rights record.
