HANOI, Vietnam – A court in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City sentenced two
Americans of Vietnamese descent to 14 years in jail on Wednesday after
finding them guilty of attempting to overthrow the government, state media
reported.

James Nguyen and Angle Phan, alleged members of the California-based
Provisional Central Government of Vietnam, were convicted of assigning
group members to distribute anti-state leaflets, take over radio stations
to broadcast anti-government messages and participate in anti-state
protests, the official Vietnam News Agency said.

Ten local members of the group were convicted on the same charges in the
two-day trial and sentenced to between five and 11 years in prison, it
said.

The two American citizens will be deported after serving their sentences,
it said.

"The defendants' acts are particularly serious, violating national
security, sabotaging the country's stability and development, causing
instability in political and social order and going against the interests
of the state," the agency quoted the judges as saying.

Court officials were not available for comment Wednesday.

"We will continue to monitor Mr. Nguyen's welfare, advocate for him and
provide consular services until his release," U.S. Embassy spokesman Pope
Thrower said in a statement.

In January, the Ministry of Public Security declared the little-known
group a terrorist organization, a month after 15 of its local members were
convicted and sentenced up to 16 years in prison for an alleged failed
bombing at Tan Son Nhat airport in Ho Chi Minh City.

Despite sweeping economic reforms since the mid-1980s that opened the
country to foreign trade and investment and made the country one of
fastest growing economies in the world, the Communist government tolerates
no challenge to its one-party rule.

Some Western governments and international human rights groups have
criticized Vietnam for jailing people for peacefully expressing their
views. The Vietnamese government says only law breakers are put behind
bars.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.

Well,,,,, they certainly got off easier than Sophie Scholl
and her fellow members of the White Rose society did!

Vietnam does not have a constitutional amendment with the
rights to free speech and bearing arms!

Whang! Teach them college students to pass notes after class!
