June 25, 2018: abducted and harassed by unidentified individuals
Early in the day on June 25, Cao Hoang Tram Anh was kidnapped and tortured in Khanh Hoa Province by four men whose actual identity can’t be verified.
The men made her unconscious by spaying a liquid into her face then brought her to a house in a city to torture her physically and mentally for many hours, according to Defend the Defenders. Tram Anh stayed in shock and was not able to remember the details of the incident after being released in the morning on the same day.
This action was believed to be a retaliation for her participation in national protests on June 10, 2018.
Prior to this abduction, police in Khanh Hoa came to her house twice, demanding that she stop writing on politics.
