URGENT ACTION REQUIRED

I urge every blogger to support Amnesty International’s campaign to free Le Chi Quang:

Le Chi Quang is a 32-year-old law graduate who was arrested on 21 February 2002 at an Internet cafe in Ha Noi. An advocate of political reform, his arrest followed the publication on the Internet of a document he had written about the Vietnam/China border agreements. Until his trial he was detained at a prison camp where he was not allowed to see his family. …

On 8 November 2002 Le Chi Quang was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment. He is known to suffer from health problems and it is believed that he is not receiving the medical treatment he needs.

As bloggers, we regularly post political opinions to the internet. This is a freedom that we take for granted — others can not.

Please, e-defendLe Chi Quang.
