Dear Mr le,

Supporting Human Rights in Vietnam I write to offer my support at your rally commemorating International Human Rights Day.

Unfortunately there are continuing reports of Human Rights abuses in Vietnam. The arrest of prominent pro democracy supporters Nguyen Van Ly, Nguyen Van Dai and Ms Le Thi Cong Nhan are some of the notabie examples of abuses against Human Rights and the Pro Democracy Movement.

Human rights are a basic freedom which everyone is entitled to and in government I will continue to pressure the Vietnamese regime to recognise these rights and encourage democracy.

Yours Faithfully,

Chris Bowen MP
Federal Member for Prospect
Assistant Treasurer
Minister for Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs

Nguyen Van Trang February 18, 2025

My name is Nguyễn Văn Tráng, a human rights defenderwanted by the Vietnamese government. As a democracy activist in Vietnam, I spent five years living in constant fear of being hunted down. I thought that fear would subside once I fled the country. I believed I would be safe—or at least safer. But I was wrong.

Chris MacLeod pays tribute to Y Brec Bya

Chris MacLeod December 16, 2024

Y Krec has exhibited personal bravery in the face of horrific persecution. Not just against himself but against his community. He has been jailed multiple times simply for practicing his faith outside of government control.

With members inside Vietnam and around the world,
Viet Tan aims to establish democracy
and reform the country through peaceful means.
