Mrs Son Thi Kim Thu is appealling for the help of the international community to investigate the whereabouts of her husband, Mr. Huynh Ba after he was captured and arrested by Vietnamese authorities on 30th May 2009.Mrs. Thu and Mr. Ba was visiting their godfather at Ba Trai Commune, Binh An Village, Kien Luong District, Kien Giang Province when Vietnamese authorities came and arrested at 11pm local time.
While the reason behind the arrest remains unclear, Mrs. Thu believes that her husband was arrested for allegedly leading a demonstration requesting for the return of his confiscated farmlands.
She was also arrested on the same date as her husband but was later released. She has not heard or received any communication from the Vietnamese authorities or husband since.
Mrs. Thu gravely fears for the safety of her husband, that he may be subjected to torture and intimation at the hands of the Vietnamese authorities.
In the past, thousands of Khmer Krom people have simply disappeared or become missing after being captured by the Vietnamese authorities.
