Blogger jailed in Vietnam for critical posts

A court in central Vietnam has sentenced a well-known blogger to two years in prison for posting criticism of the communist government in the latest case in an intensified crackdown against dissent.
Lawyer Tran Vu Hai said Truong Duy Nhat was convicted of posting material which distorted the government’s policies and put the country’s leadership in a bad light. The half-day trial took place in Danang City.
