An environmental activist, Nguyen Ngoc Anh, was sentenced to six years in prison for making some Facebook comments inviting people to attend demonstrations last year. Authorities said his writing and videos were “anti-state.” Amnesty International says there are at least 128 prisoners of conscience serving sentences, with at least ten percent of them for social media posts.
