Vietnam accused of abducting exiled activists amid new digital controls
Original: Vietnam: Transnational repression persists with abduction of activists, critics targeted and new decrees that will increase digital rights violations
Civil society monitors report that Vietnam is continuing transnational repression, including the alleged abduction of activists living abroad and intimidation of critics, while new government decrees are expected to tighten control of online speech and worsen digital rights violations. Rights groups say the measures expand the state's legal tools for surveillance and punishment of dissent, both at home and overseas.
Why now: Newly reported abductions of exiled activists and fresh restrictive decrees have drawn human rights groups' condemnation.
