A court in central Vietnam jailed a prominent environmental blogger on Tuesday for 14 years for abusing his democratic freedom and opposing officials on duty, his lawyer said. Hoang Duc Binh led several protests against authorities over the handling of a major environmental disaster caused by a steel plant being developed by Taiwan’s Formosa Plastics Corp in 2016. Earlier this month prominent blogger Ho Van Hai was sentenced to four years in prison for anti-government propaganda, ending more than a year in detention for the former doctor that had drawn international condemnation. A controversial law introduced in 2013, known as Decree 72, bans online activity if it falls under certain categories, including opposing the government, harming national security or insulting honor and dignity of organizations and individuals.
