What’s up with Vietnam putting clean energy advocates in prison for like 18 months? From the article and a linked one the reporting is that it’s happening, and one detainee is in for tax evasion but assumed to be an excuse. Coming from NGOs, don’t trust what they are saying, but there seems to be something weird going on.
Because they're obviously CI assets or something similar. You can find this everywhere. It can also be supposed LGBT advocacy groups or anything like that. Then they can say that a given government is both "authoritarian" and imply that they're homophobic or anti-environmental or whatever. This climate one seems like it was set up perfectly like that.
Wverything in this article is a total jome. The first jailed person they mentioned literally bribed someone for confidential government documents and the article/"activists" claims that "climate advocates" need to be able to do this.
It mentions someone went to prison for tax evasion then quotes some working group talking about "arbitrary detention". Just classic western propganda.
Thank you, figured it was something like that and this confirmation helps.
They don't even have to be affiliated with the CIA... just a lot of contact with U.S funded USAID or National Endowment in Democracy and you'll get these 'grassroots' activists denouncing a U.S enemy in the name of this cause or that cause...
