Family Members Welcome Expected Release of Jailed Vietnamese Journalist
Family members hailed the anticipated release in August of jailed Vietnamese photojournalist Nguyen Dang Minh Man during a visit this week to her prison in northern Vietnam’s Than Hoa province, praising her courage behind bars during the last eight years.
Meanwhile, two political prisoners held in the same prison continue to weaken after almost two weeks on hunger strike, sources said.
Speaking to RFA’s Vietnamese Service on Wednesday, Man’s mother Dang Ngoc Minh, herself a former political prisoner, said that she and Man’s father had gone to Camp 5 along with other democracy activists and relatives of other prisoners, but had been made to stand outside.
