Justice Education in Catholic Schools

Over the last month or so the Vietnamese Government has launched a crackdown on human rights activists and religious groups, and especially bloggers and lawyers have been targeted. The action came at Christmas time when international media attention is at its lowest. 
Asia News reports that the list of violations includes the arrest of Le Quoc Quan, a well-known Catholic lawyer and human rights defender, who was detained on allegations of tax evasion. Mr Le Quoc was arrested as he was taking his daughter to school, state media reported. Since he began to defend human rights in court and on his blog, he was disbarred and so cannot practice law.
Maria Ta Phong Tan, an ex-policewoman and a Catholic activist, whom Benenson has campaigned for previously, was sentenced to a long jail term. Maria Ta Phong Tan, posted on her blog, 'Justice and Truth'. She has already paid dearly for her actions because her mother took her own life setting herself on fire outside the headquarters of the People's Committee in Bac Lieu. There are reports that she has been mistreated in prison and that her health is deteriorating at an alarming speed, especially her mental health; something that human rights groups suspect is being done to drive her, like her mother, to suicide.
