The Committee to Protect Journalists joined PEN America and other partner organizations in a joint letter Tuesday urging U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pressure Vietnam to release all imprisoned journalists in the country, including 2022 International Press Freedom Award winner Pham Doan Trang.  

The joint action specifically requests Rubio to call on Vietnam to stop incarcerating journalists, end harassment and threats against independent media, and repeal draconian legislation that curbs press freedom, including on social media platforms.

The letter highlights Vietnam Human Rights Day, observed each year in the United States on May 11 to mark the importance of advancing fundamental freedoms in Vietnam.
