  • Trien was arrested in June for allegedly violating Article 331 of the Penal Code, which deals with abuses of democratic freedoms.
  • His posts claimed irregularities in the legal system and criticized the court's exclusion of defendants' family members from trials.
  • If convicted, he could face up to seven years in prison, setting a concerning precedent for free speech in Vietnam.
  • Human Rights Watch highlights that this case could deter others in Vietnam from voicing criticism against the government and its officials.
