Renowned journalist and historian Truong Huy San, a vocal critic of the Vietnamese government, was reportedly detained by state security agents in Hanoi last week. San, known by his pen name Huy Duc, had recently published articles criticizing the country's political situation.
Several prominent freedom-of-expression organizations, including Reporters Without Borders, the Committee to Protect Journalists, and PEN America, have called for San's immediate release. They expressed concerns that he may be targeted for his critical writings and urged transparency from the Vietnamese authorities regarding his apprehension.
