Ngo Thi To Nhien detained over charges of ‘appropriating documents’, a government spokesperson confirmed

A rights group reported last month that Ngo Thi To Nhien, executive director of the Hanoi-based Vietnam Initiative for Energy Transition (Viet), had been detained, although at the time there was no official confirmation.
