Freedom HouseTen Findings from Ten Years of Data on Transnational RepressionTransnational repression threatens security and human rights. The more we know about who is committing it and how, the better we can fight to end it.
Although Vietnam ratified the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 2015, such ill-treatment continues in #Vietnamese #prisons. In September and October 2024, four #PrisonersOfConscience went on hunger strike for several weeks to protest their conditions of detention in Prison No. 6 in Nghe An. These four activists included Le Manh Hung, Dang Dinh Bach, Bui Van Thuan and Trinh Ba Tu. They denounced the use of “tiger cages” as a means of #SolitaryConfinement, which were cubes made of iron bars with about 1 meter of space to move around as well as the inability to exit and interact with other prisoners.
The Vietnamese authorities have also increasingly violated human rights beyond their borders through #TransnationalRepression. Blogger Duong Van Thai, who was #kidnapped from #Bangkok in April 2023, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 3 years probation in a closed-door trial on October 30, 2024 with the charge of “propaganda against the state” (Article 117 of the Penal Code).
Another ongoing case of transnational repression is against Y Quynh Bdap, a #Christian and member of the #Ede ethnic group in Vietnam. Bdap fled to #Thailand in 2018 to escape religious and political #persecution by Vietnamese officials. He was granted #RefugeeStatus by the UN refugee agency. But, under pressure from the Vietnamese government, the Thai police arrested Bdap in June 2024 with the threat of #extradition back to Vietnam.
Besides the case of Duong Van Thai kidnapped in Bangkok in 2023, there were two other cases of transnational kidnapping, which occurred in #Berlin in 2017 (Trinh Xuan Thanh) and in Bangkok in 2019 (Truong Duy Nhat). The three kidnappings happened under the purview of Mr. Tô Lâm, who was Minister of Public Security from 2016 to 2024. With these cases of transnational repression, the Vietnamese authorities are testing how far it can extend its power to #SilenceActivists.

"Conversations and texts among Indian diplomats include references to 'a senior official in India and a senior official in RAW' who have authorized the intelligence-gathering missions and attacks on Sikh separatists, the Canadian official said. Canadian officials identified the senior official in India as Amit Shah, a member of Modi’s inner circle who serves as home affairs minister."
