HANOI — Human Rights Watch on Wednesday called on Vietnam to release a former business executive and four other people over their roles in the publication and promotion of a book about Ho Chi Minh that allegedly contained anti-state content.
Police two weeks ago arrested Nguyen Thanh Nam, author of the book titled "In Conversation with Thanh: A New Account of the Light," on charges of making, storing and disseminating anti-state propaganda, according to the Ministry of Public Security.
