🇻🇳 Vietnam arrests Facebook user for attempt to overthrow the state
Police in Vietnam on Friday arrested a Facebook user whom the authorities accuse of “attempting to overthrow the state” by sharing content that defamed leaders of the ruling Communist Party.
Phan Thi Thanh Nha, 39, was accused of posting and sharing 25 articles and videos since 2018 seeking to distort the leaders of the state.
Nha was also accused by police of joining and recruiting members for the US-based Provisional National Government of Vietnam, a group listed by the Vietnam as a terrorist organization, though not by the United States.
