Details of Imprisonment

Two elderly women from Ha Tinh Province were sentenced to 15 months in prison for “abusing democratic freedoms” by posting commentaries on Facebook that prosecutors say “distort the truth and discredit the government.” State media reported that Hoang Thi Son (65) and Thai Thi Be (67) made the offending remarks because they “did not agree with how the state responded to their written requests” without offering any other details.
