Vietnamese police have arrested a blogger accused of posting
"erroneous and slanderous" information about the communist government,
the third blogger to be locked in the past month in an intensifying
crackdown against dissent.
The state-run Thanh Nien newspaper
reported on Monday that Dinh Nhat Uy was taken into police custody in
southern Long An province on Saturday. He is accused of "abusing
democratic freedoms," an offense that carries up to seven years in
prison.
The 30-year-old is the brother of Dinh Nguyen Kha, a
student who was sentenced last month to eight years in jail for
spreading propaganda against the government.
Two well-known bloggers have been arrested over the past three weeks on the same charges.
