(WiPC/IFEX) – According to information received by International PEN’s WiPC, Vietnamese writers Nguyen Dan Que, Nguyen Van Ly and Nguyen Dinh Huy have left their internment camps. The three men were reported to have been granted amnesty on the occasion of the Vietnamese new year.
According to reports, Nguyen Van Ly has gone to Hue, and Nguyen Dinh Huy and Nguyen Dan Que have gone to Ho Chi Minh City. PEN is investigating whether there are any restrictions on the men.
While International PEN welcomes the release of Nguyen Dan Que, Nguyen Van Ly and Nguyen Dinh Huy, the organisation remains concerned about nine other writers who have been denied amnesty, and calls for their release.
