People gathered at Thai Ha church, Hanoi, to offer prayers to blogger Anh Ba Sam, who was arrested with his assistant Nguyen Thi Minh Thuy on May 5, 2014. Anh Ba Sam, the founder and editor of Ba Sam News, is one of the most important and influential bloggers in Vietnam since 2007. His website, run under the slogan To break the chains of slavery, is very popular with hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese speakers around the world. Anh Ba Sam and Nguyen Thi Minh Thuy are accused of “publishing online articles with bad contents and misleading information to lower the prestige and create public distrust of government offices, social organizations and citizens” under Article 258 of the Vietnamese Penal Code. They are the two most recent victims of this vague and abusive provision. Photo by Nguyễn Lân Thắng
