Bloggers Falsely Arrested

In Vietnam, three bloggers have been arrested on trumped up charges. These arrests are violating their freedom of speech. The bloggers have been speaking out against unjust government activities. One man, who was arrested on trumped up charges was sentenced to a little over two years in prison. When his former wife came to pick him up on the day of his release, she was interrogated and her home was searched. The blogger was not released and sentenced to more prison time on more trumped up charges. The unjust attempt to control what people say about the government show that what it is up to is not good. If people can't speak out, then there is usually something they are trying to hide. The people's rights must always be protected, but especially freedom of speech, as it allows people to uncover other crimes and violations of rights. These bloggers must receive fair trial.
