Duong Manh Tien, a 42-year-old citizen with no known history of activism, was arrested by Binh Dinh provincial police on Jan. 10. Tien is charged with “abusing democratic freedoms” for resisting the reclamation of land to which the government said he had illegally staked a claim in My Duc Village in Phu My County, in 2019. In July of last year, the People’s Committee of Binh Dinh sent Tien a notice denying his appeal. During the reclamation process, Tien allegedly used language that “defames and harms the credibility of the state and some individuals.”
