Writer Nguyen Xuan Nghia beaten in jail
CTV Danlambao - Today, Sept. 04, 2013, Nguyen Tri Dung, the son of blogger Dieu Cay Nguyen Van Hai, visited his dad in Prison No. 6, Thanh Chuong , Nghe An, for about 20 minutes. Blogger Dieu Cay, though still being very weak, has improved his health after 35 days of hunger strike. Prison No. 6 currently holds many political prisoners, including Dieu Cay, Nguyen Xuan Nghia, and Nguyen Kim Nhan.
Apparently, the recent visitation was different from the previous ones. Instead of talking through a security glass, the two must use the prison phones to communicate with each other during the visitation. Thus, the conversation could be monitored and interrupted at any time.
Expectedly, when Tri Dung asked his father about the situation of the detained political prisoners, Dieu Cay immediately said: "The guy Tien beat uncle Nghia up! Last time he attacked uncle Nhan." Immediately, the phone line was disconnected. The guarding prison police told them not to talk about such issues.
Reportedly, Tran Van Tien is serving a life sentence for spying for China. This guy has repeatedly attacked other political prisoners. Previously, he beat up the prisoner of conscience Nguyen Kim Nhan. After the attack, he was disciplined. But somehow, this time he was arranged to stay in the same cell with writer Nguyen Xuan Nghia.

Obviously, this is a filthy tactic carried out by prison police of Prison No. 6 to brutally retaliate against political prisoners as they have repeatedly used convicted criminals to attack and torture the patriots. Especially, writer Nguyen Xuan Nghia, who risked his life to inform the outside world about the recent hunger strike of blogger Dieu Cay, which was concealed by prison officials for almost a month, has become a victim of this cruel treatment.
