Phạm Đoan Trang, an award-winning journalist, author, and human rights advocate, remains unjustly imprisoned for her tireless efforts to fight for freedom of speech and democracy in Vietnam.
Đoan Trang was arrested on October 6, 2020, and in one week, she would remain in prison for four years. Vietnam sentenced her to nine years under Article 88 of the former 1999 Penal Code for propagandizing against the state.
Her courage has inspired many, but her struggle continues in isolation. Now, more than ever, she needs to feel the support and solidarity of those who believe in justice and human rights.
You can make a difference. We encourage everyone to write a letter/postcard to Phạm Đoan Trang. Your words of encouragement, support, and solidarity can bring hope to her during this challenging time. Let her know she is not alone, that the world stands with her, and that her voice still resonates, even behind bars.
Together, we can uplift her spirit and advocate for her release. Write a letter/postcard today and let Phạm Đoan Trang know that her fight is our fight, too.
