Police escalate harassment on human rights activists

Như Ngọc (Danlambao) - At 12:55 a.m. on Feb. 1, 2014 - the third day of the Lunar New Year, more than 20 police raided Mr. Truong Minh Duc’s house at N3 street, neighborhood No. 4, My Phuoc 1 town, Ben Cat district, Binh Duong province to check family register. Huynh Anh Tu and Huynh Anh Tri came to visit Mr. Truong approximately 2 hours before the raid and they both became the main targets of that police operation.

The two brothers Huynh Anh Tu and Huynh Anh Tri are former political prisoners and homeless. They both were imprisoned for 14 years and released about a month ago. During the dawn raid, they presented the prison release order to police, but police required the submission of the Vietnamese Identity Card, a document they could not obtain from police department. As the result, they both are arrested and detained at the police station of My Phuoc 1 town.

Mr. Truong posts a call for support on behalf of Huynh Anh Tu and Huynh Anh Tri on Dan Lam Bao. Their contact number is (011-84) 0165-2033-463. My Phuoc 1 police can be reached at (011-84) 0918.332.444.
