NGHE AN — The court of appeals of Ha Noi Supreme People's Court yesterday confirmed the sentences for two anti-government indictees, Ho Thi Bich Khuong from Nghe An Province and Nguyen Trung Ton from Thanh Hoa Province.
In December 2011, the Nghe An People's Court sentenced Khuong to five years in prison and three years under house arrest, and Ton to two years in prison and two years under house arrest for circulating propaganda against the Party and Government.
The court decided that the prosecuting procedures were done according to the law and that the evidence, including the many articles written by Khuong and Ton which circulated through the Internet, were sufficient for handing out the sentences. — VNS
