The Office of Liu Jianyong

January 14, 2025

In the past two years, dozens of Vietnamese journalists and human rights defenders have been unjustly detained by the Vietnamese authorities. We publicly condemn the Vietnamese authorities’ blatant suppression of freedom of speech and serious violations of the human rights of the Vietnamese people. We urge the Vietnamese authorities to immediately release the journalists and human rights defenders who have been unjustly detained, and we also call on the international community to impose sanctions on the Vietnamese authorities.

The Office of Liu Jianyong has long been fighting on the front line of global journalists’ rights and human rights protection: Over the years, The Office of Liu Jianyong has paid close attention to a large number of human rights violations in Cuba, Venezuela, Haiti, Congo, Zimbabwe, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Belarus, Myanmar, Cambodia, North Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, Libya, Central Africa, Rwanda, Mexico and other countries. With the responsibility of safeguarding freedom of speech and protecting human rights, The Office of Liu Jianyong will always stand with those who dare to fight around the world.
