At the Jan 24 hearing on “Examining Ongoing Human Rights Abuses in Vietnam” held by the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Congressman Ed Royce raised concern about the recent arrest of Viet Khang (born Vo Minh Tri), a songwriter jailed for expressing his patriotic feelings and calling on the civic duty of fellow Vietnamese. He was arrested and is currently detained without charges.
