TAKE ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
Free environmental lawyer from prison
Environmental justice lawyer Dang Dinh Bach was sentenced to five years in prison for his activism in protecting the livelihoods of people in Viet Nam from the threats of pollution and climate change.
His organization, the Law and Policy of Sustainable Development Research Center, was the first to take legal action against the government and corporations for serious environmental and public health violations.
Bach's arrest is a tactic used by the Vietnamese authorities to silence the growing movement of activists calling on the government to protect the environment.
In prison, Bach has undergone six hunger strikes to demand justice.
