America Whines After Vietnam Jails Climate Hoax Bitch


Hoang Thi Minh Hong: Purple hair in a religious/communist country is not something that’s going to get you very far.

The US wants to build military bases in Vietnam for their war against China.

But they just can’t help themselves when it comes to this human rights hoaxery.

CNN:

The US State Department has condemned the jailing of one of Vietnam’s most prominent environmental activists for tax fraud in a ruling human rights activists claimed was a “total sham.”

Hoang Thi Minh Hong, 51, who has led environmental campaigns in the communist country for at least a decade, was sentenced to three years in prison by a court in Ho Chi Minh City on Thursday for evading about $280,000 in taxes, according to her lawyer Nguyen Van Tu.

In a statement, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said the United States was “deeply concerned” by her imprisonment and reiterated calls for Vietnam to “release all those unjustly detained” and to “respect the right to freedoms of expression and association.”

“NGO leaders like Hoang Thi Minh Hong play a vital role in tackling global challenges, proposing sustainable solutions in the global fight against the climate crisis, and combating wildlife and timber trafficking,” Miller said.

Vietnam’s opaque legal system has come under increased criticism from Western observers this year, even as the Southeast Asian country draws closer to the United States.

They won’t be drawing closer for long if you keep doing human rights hoaxes against them.

In April during a visit to Hanoi, a delegation of the European Parliament’s Subcommittee of Human Rights expressed “great concern at the worsening human rights situation in the country” calling for the release of “political prisoners” including NGO leaders, journalists and environmental activists, according to Reuters.

The court’s ruling also comes just weeks after US President Joe Biden’s first state visit to Vietnam, in which he elevated diplomatic relations between the two countries – a hugely significant move given Washington’s complicated history with Hanoi.

“Complicated history,” rofl.

What kind of euphemism is that?

“Vietnam and the United States are critical partners at what I would argue is a very critical time,” Biden said at the time, referencing climate change. “I’m not saying that to be polite. I’m saying it because I mean it from the bottom of my heart.”

Hong was the director of CHANGE, an environmental advocacy group she started in 2013 that “addressed problems of climate change, pollution, and endangered wildlife in Vietnam,” according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).

She was also one of 12 international activists who received a grant in 2018 from the first Obama Foundation Scholars Program at Columbia University, HRW said.

Hong “dedicated herself to educating and organizing young leaders in the effort for a greener world,” according to a bio page on the foundation’s website.

Rights groups said Hong’s trial, which lasted half a day, was the latest example of Vietnam’s government “weaponizing the law for the purpose of political persecution.”

Sorry, retards.

Every country puts problem people in jail when they cause problems, often on tax charges.

The United States does that more than any other country.

Maybe shut up, because you’re not the boss of the world?

Actually, no – keep pushing on Vietnam. I want you to keep doing that, because I don’t want any more US military bases near China.
