A rights group warns Vietnam is ramping up arrests under broad laws to crush dissent
A human rights group reports Vietnam is increasing arrests of activists and dissidents using broadly written laws to suppress dissent. The 88 Project documented 56 such arrests in 2025, double the 2022 count, with authorities relying on Article 331 of the penal code to punish perceived threats to the Communist Party's rule.
