UN human rights watchdogs called on to secure release of Vietnamese blogger
MLDI and its partners call for Le Quoc Quan's immediate and unconditional release.
The Media Legal Defence Initiative, together with eleven other human rights organisations, has submitted requests for urgent action to three United Nations Special Rapporteurs and the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, calling for the immediate release of Vietnamese human rights lawyer and blogger Le Quoc Quan.
Le Quoc Quan has been held in solitary detention by the Vietnamese authorities since his arrest on 27 December on trumped up allegations of tax evasion. He has been allowed to see his lawyer only once and has been refused any contact with his family.
