An RFA blogger jailed in Vietnam for 10 years on a land-fraud charge is being forced to work long hours in spite of chronic pain from herniated discs, Vietnamese sources say.
Truong Duy Nhat, who had been a weekly contributor to RFA’s Vietnamese Service before his abduction by police in Thailand in January 2019, now works eight hours a day making paper money for sale as offerings burned later in religious ceremonies, a friend of Nhat’s said on Friday.
Nhat’s friend, literary critic Pham Xuan Nguyen, had gone with Nhat’s wife and younger sister on Dec. 3 to visit him at the Tan Ky No. 3 detention camp in Nghe An province, Nguyen told RFA’s Vietnamese Service.
