Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh

‘Mother Mushroom’ has faced aggressive state harassment for her blogging on political and environmental issues. In 2017, she was sentenced to ten years in prison under Article 88 but was released after two years in state custody into exile with her family in the U.S. Now living in Houston, Texas, she continues to advocate for human rights, posting long-form videos about Vietnam on her YouTube channel and engaging with international organizations like Human Rights First.
