A Vietnamese man gets six years in jail for terrorism and weapons possession. He was convicted for smuggling a cache of guns into the country from Cambodia, a court official said Tuesday. Acts of terror are rare in Vietnam and the state has waged a crackdown since 2016 where dozens have been arrested last year itself.
“Binh used Facebook to share and popularise the use of weapons and violence against the state,” said a report from Bao Ve Phap Luat, the official mouthpiece of the national procuracy office.
Seven people were arrested last year, including three on terrorism charges, for bombing a police station in Ho Chi Minh City just days after widespread economic protests rocked the country. Dissidents and activists are regularly jailed in Vietnam.
