I am pleased to announce that Vietnamese democracy activist Nguyen Tien Trung, who was jailed by the Hanoi government in 2009 and who I adopted through the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission’s “Defending Freedoms Project”, has been released. I hope that this is only the first step by the government of Vietnam toward respecting the rule of law and the right of its people to speak out against the government. The government of Vietnam has a long way to go in respecting the fundamental human rights of its own people, and I will continue fighting to ensure that Trung is not the last person to be released from unfair and unjust imprisonment in Vietnam.
