Details of Imprisonment

Lu A Da was arrested in Bangkok for "illegal immigration and illegal residence."

He was released on bail in Feb. 2024. Though he was arrested outside of Vietnam and has not been convicted, Project88 has included his case due to the length of his detention and nature of the Vietnamese government’s alleged involvement in the arrest (and a pattern of cooperation between Thai and Vietnamese authorities in harassing and deporting activists). Please contact us for more information about his case.
