- Event Description
On 4 April 2013, a prominent blogger - Huynh Ngoc Tuan's house was attacked. The once-imprisoned Huynh Ngoc Tuan, 50, told RFA's Vietnamese Service that the attack occurred at 12:30 a.m. on April 4 when two assailants pulled up to his home in Quang Nam province on a motorbike and threw rank liquid near his bedroom. Police have harassed the Huynh family at their home in Quang Nam in recent years since Tuan, a member of the government-banned Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (UBCV), and his eldest daughter Huynh Thuc Vy began receiving attention for their blogs. Tuan is accused by local authorities of posting articles on the Internet which "oppose the Party and State."
