TAKE ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

Free environmental lawyer Dang Dinh Bach

Environmental justice lawyer Dang Dinh Bach was sentenced to five years in prison for his activism in protecting the livelihoods of people in Vietnam from the threats of pollution and climate change.

His organization, the Law and Policy of Sustainable Development Research Center (LPSD), takes legal action against the government and corporations for serious environmental and public health violations. On June 24, 2012, he was arrested and charged with “tax evasion.”

Since 2021, at least five environmental and climate justice advocates have been charged with tax evasion, a tactic used by the Vietnamese authorities to silence the growing movement of activists calling on the government to protect the environment.

Call on Vietnam to immediately release Dang Dinh Bach.
