The short explanation of this alert was:
Vietnamese physician and democracy advocate Dr. Pham Hong Son was released from prison on August 30, 2006. Dr. Son had served more than three years of his five-year sentence for translating and circulating on the internet a document titled "What is Democracy?" Since his release, the Vietnamese government has put Dr. Son under probation for three years; surrounded his family's home has with security forces; erected a barrier in front of their house; and required Dr. Son to seek permission before leaving his neighborhood. Call upon the government of Vietnam to cease persecution of Dr. Son, Dr. Nguyen Dan Que, and other former prisoners of conscience, to release current prisoners, and to comply with its human rights obligations under the Vietnamese Constitution and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
