HANOI, Vietnam – State media say a court in southern Vietnam has sentenced three women for up to four years in prison for spreading anti-state propaganda.
Ngo Thi Minh Uoc, 57, was convicted of holding anti-state banners and the flags of the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government and chanting anti-state slogans outside the United State diplomatic mission in July 2014, and sentenced to four years in prison at the trial that lasted half a day on Wednesday, Thanh Nien newspaper reported.
Nguyen Thi Tri and Nguyen Thi Be Hai, both 58, were given three years in prison on the same charges, it said.
