Houston (TX), April 05, 2010 (VNPP) - According to information received from Vietnam, Mr. Truong Minh Duc was transferred to K4 Camp (in Xuan Loc Prison, Dong Nai province) on March 29, 2010.

Mr. Truong Minh Duc, a member of VNPP, was suddenly separated from the group of political prisoners in K2 Camp and sent to a camp with serious criminal prisoners. This act intended to isolate and mentally terrorize Mr. Duc, especially when he was still in high blood pressure and suffer from intestinal diseases.

K4 is a camp belongs to Xuan Loc Prison, located about 30 kilometers, and is set in a remote forest.

Currently, Mr. Truong Minh Duc held with 60 criminal prisoners who have long sentences for their criminal crimes. The living conditions at K4 are very harsh, with 24/24 police surveillance. His daily activities are closely watched by the guards to the extent of the criminal prisoners in general do not dare speak or friendly making contact with him.

Mr. Duc has been held since May 5th, 2005 and remains unrepentant. He stands for his good cause and has never asked for clemency.

The Vietnam government has recently published several articles in Vietnam media, accused the Vietnam Populist Party of “planning to overthrow the government.”
