Subject: [Vsg] New searchable Vietnamese political prisoner database

Dear List,

Our newly launched Vietnam Political Prisoner Database at https://vietnamprisoners.info/ might be of interest for those who study/follow Vietnamese dissident politics and social movements.

This is a searchable database that allows users to search for prisoner profiles by name, year of arrest, charges, length of sentence, gender, religion, ethnicity, areas of activism, and current status. You can use these criteria separately or in combination.

On the home page, users can also conveniently see the number of prisoners who are currently in pre-trial detention or serving a sentence, as well as the numbers of female and ethnic minorities prisoners (who, unfortunately, are often overlooked).

Many detailed profiles are already available for many prisoners. You could sort the list by "most recently updated" to get the latest updates.

Updates on political prisoners and social movements in general, as well as related news, are also available via our weekly newsletters. Please subscribe here.

Best,

Huong
