Soc Trang – On May 30, 2009, Mr. Huynh Ba (born in 1962) and his wife, Mrs Son Thi Kim Thu (born in 1962), went to visit their god-father at Ba Trai Commune, Binh An Village, Kien Luong District, Kien Giang Province.
At 11pm (local time), the Vietnamese police, led by Duong Thanh Hung from Soc Trang province went to arrest Mr. Huynh Ba and his wife. The police did not give a reason to why they had arrested Mr. Huynh Ba and his wife.
The police have just released Mrs Son Thi Kim Thu, but Mr. Huynh Ba is still being imprisoned at an unknown location.
Mr. Huynh Ba has filed complaint to demand the Vietnamese government to return his confiscated farmland. Instead of returning his farmlands, the Vietnamese government accused him for leading a protest to disturb the Vietnamese society.
He has been heavily monitored by the Vietnamese police and his current fate remains unknown.
