VIETNAM: Death of dissident and spiritual leader Thich Huyen Quang
The Writers in Prison Committee of International PEN mourns the death of Buddhist leader, writer and dissident, Venerable Thich Huyen Quang, on 5 July 2008 at the age of 87 after a long illness. Thich Huyen Quang had spent most of the past thirty years in prison or under house arrest for his work in support of religious freedom, human rights and political reform in Vietnam. International PEN continues to call for the release of all those currently detained in Vietnam solely for the peaceful exercise of their right to free expression, in accordance with Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), to which Vietnam is a signatory.
