Salutation: Dear Ambassador
Dear Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc,
I write to express my grave concern regarding the situation of Huỳnh Trương Ca who, despite suffering from several illnesses including diabetes, lung disease and high blood pressure, was moved without warning to Xuân Lộc prison on 7 March.
The new detention centre is situated 250km away from his home town, making it very difficult for his family to visit him and bring him necessary supplies.
Huỳnh Trương Ca was arrested on 4 September 2018 while on his way to participate in a peaceful protest in Ho Chi Minh city. Convicted and sentenced to five years and six months in prison solely for peacefully exercising his fundamental rights, he is a prisoner of conscience and should be immediately released.
Therefore, I urge you Prime Minister to release Huỳnh Trương Ca immediately and unconditionally to demonstrate Vietnam is a country where human rights are respected.
Yours sincerely,
