Donate to Support Families of Vietnamese Political Prisoners

Suffering detention or imprisonment merely on account of one’s political or religious beliefs is a harsh reality (as well as a state practice that is both internationally condemned and a violation of law in most developed countries). Yet such suffering is magnified immeasurably when a political prisoner is no longer able to provide or care for a loved one or dependent, such as young children, aging parents, forlorn spouses, and other dependents. We can show our support by helping their families and dependents during what is often a very desperate time.

Below are a few funds that aim to help covering costs related to living expenses, health and/or education for a family member or dependent of a political prisoner in Vietnam. We verify the identity of individuals who manage the funds before including them. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
