CTV Danlambao - Translated by Nhu Ngọc (Danlambao) - At 15:45 this afternoon, March 26, 2015, communist security agents suddenly rushed in to kidnap blogger Pham Doan Trang when she joined some family members of death row prisoner Nguyen Van Chuong going to the embassies of the United States and European Union.
Blogger Trinh Anh Tuan, who witnessed the incident, said Doan Trang was immobilized by three plainclothes security agents, including 2 male and 1 female, in front of the Opera House at Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi, and forced boarding on a vehicle that carries the plate number 80B-2530 and headed to an unknown location.
Those who escorted Doan Trang had tried to intervene but were stopped by a motorcycle and its rider.
The stunning kidnapping took place in the heart of Hanoi where the communist authorities are tightening security service for hosting the upcoming 132th meeting of Inter-Parliamentary Union.
The kidnappers use a black car that carries plate No. 80B-2530,

Reportedly, blogger Pham Doan Trang, Trinh Anh Tuan and the parents of prisoner Nguyen Van Chuong were about to meet officers at the said embassies discussing flaws in communist legal system and asking for help in the case of Ho Duy Hai and Nguyen Van Chuong, who are strongly believed to have received death sentence wrongly.
Where Doan Trang is being held is unknown and her friends are planning to make an inquiry regarding the incident at police station of Trang Tien Ward.
* Update: At 6 p.m. Doan Trang walked out of Trang Tien police station.
