Web piece nets Son 13 years'

2003-06-18 13:09

Hanoi - Vietnamese cyber-dissident Pham Hong Son was sentenced on Wednesday to 13 years in jail for espionage after posting an internet article about democracy, judicial sources said.

Son, a 34-year-old doctor, was arrested in Hanoi in March 27 2002, a few weeks after translating into Vietnamese and publishing online a feature entitled "What is democracy" extracted from the United States state department's website.

Son was convicted after a half-day trial at Hanoi People's Court. He was also ordered to be kept under house arrest for three years after his release from jail.
