Vietnamese journalist and scholar Truong Huy San, known as Huy Duc, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for Facebook posts criticizing the government. The 63-year-old previously worked for state-run newspapers before gaining prominence through his independent blog and social media presence. His posts frequently addressed issues such as corruption, media control, and Vietnam’s relations with China. A court in Hanoi convicted him of 'abusing democratic freedoms,' a charge often used to silence dissent in the country. The case highlights Vietnam’s ongoing crackdown on press freedom and political criticism.
