Australian activist held without contact in Vietnam on terrorism claim

Vietnamese-Australian campaigner Tran Hiep, based in Melbourne, has been held without contact since mid-September at B34 detention centre in Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam accuses him of terrorism and using forged documents over alleged membership in Viet Tan, which Hanoi lists as a terrorist group. His wife raised the alarm after he missed his 18 Sept flight from Phnom Penh.
