REPRESSION IN VIET NAM, FREE FATHER LY

More of the same from the communist hell hole of Viet Nam. As always, any expression of religion or political dissent mean many years in a re-education camp (forced labor under inhumane conditions).

Support freedom and democracy in Vietnam!
By Bridget Johnson
Let’s drum up support for Father Nguyen Van Ly, a Roman Catholic priest and editor of a pro-democracy publication in Vietnam who was recently sentenced to eight years in prison (and not the first time he’s sat behind bars for the cause of freedom).
I’ve just finished creating a blog that highlights not only Father Ly’s case, but other brave Vietnamese voices.

Click over and learn more about Father Ly. There are other links and stories about the draconian repression of freedom in Viet Nam.

The image of guards clapping a hand over his mouth at his trial (as he said “Down with the Communist Party of Vietnam!” after the sham guilty verdict was read) is being widely circulated around the Web, much to the chagrin of the regime.
We turned this image into the sidebar bug that you see, and hope as many bloggers as possible will stick it on their sites. In return, we’re compiling a blogroll of supporters on the site. We like to call that “igniting a blogstorm” in the name of freedom and democracy!!
