HANOI - A court in Vietnam on Monday sentenced an U.S. citizen to 12 years in prison after finding him guilty of “attempting to overthrow the state” in a trial which lasted only half a day, his lawyer said.
Michael Phuong Minh Nguyen, 55, pleaded guilty, but had asked that his sentence be reduced so he could be reunited with his family, his lawyer Nguyen Van Mieng told Reuters via telephone after the trial at the Ho Chi Minh City court.“It’s such a long sentence...,” said Mieng. Nguyen was accused of inciting Vietnamese people to join protests and of attempting to attack government offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with molotov cocktails and slingshot, reported Tuoi Tre newspaper, citing the indictment.
Despite sweeping economic reform and increasing openness to social change, Vietnam’s ruling Communist Party retains tight media censorship and does not tolerate criticism.
