Tran Thi Nga

In 2017, dissident blogger Tran Thi Nga was arrested on charges of spreading propaganda and ultimately imprisoned in highly abusive conditions. While imprisoned, Nga faced retaliation for appealing her conviction and endured physical assault from other prisoners. As part of an agreement to cut her nine-year sentence short, she went into exile in the United States in January 2020. She is also a co-founder of Vietnamese Women for Human Rights (VNWHR), an organization openly condemned by state media.
