Vietnam tries democracy activists for subversion
None
A prominent US-trained lawyer agreed in court on Wednesday his efforts to bring multi-party democracy to communist-ruled Vietnam amounted to subversion, an offense that can mean a death sentence.
Le Cong Dinh and three co-defendants are accused of activities meant to end communist rule, including blogging, making contact with "hostile" groups abroad and, in Dinh's case, attending a class on non-violent political change. (Reuters)
