Niece, nephews of jailed priest to be tried - Vietnam

[dArKeR]

Widely criticized these last months for its human rights policy, Vietnam is to try another three dissidents Wednesday -- all relatives of a Catholic priest currently serving a 10-year sentence.

Two nephews and the niece of Father Tadeus Nguyen Van Ly are to appear in court Wednesday in Ho Chi Minh City, Amnesty International said Friday.

Nguyen Thi Hoa and her brothers Nguyen Vu Viet and Nguyen Truc Cuong are accused of "abusing democratic freedoms to infringe upon the interests of the State, the legitimate rights and interests of organizations and/or citizens," for their efforts to contact US-based opponents to the communist government and to send information about their uncle.

Father Ly, 57, was placed under house arrest in March 2001 after providing written testimony to the US Commission on International Religious Freedom a month earlier.

Actually, I have no idea what the solution to this problem is. I doubt what I stated is it though.
