Incident Group: Pham Doan Trang and her friends harassed during a party to celebrate her winning Reporters Without Borders's Prize for Impact

On September 14, 2019, several activists in Ho Chi Minh City held a party to celebrate journalist Pham Doan Trang winning Reporters Without Borders's Prize for Impact. The location of the party was in a restaurant in Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City. During the party, a group of public security in plainclothes surrounded the restaurant with the intention to capture Trang. Only thanks to the help of the activists who tried to distract the forces, Trang was able to return back home safely.
