Cyberspace in Vietnam, as in larger neighbour China, is controlled with firewalls and by monitoring public access at Internet cafes that have sprung up in major cities.㰀戀爀㸀䄀戀漀甀琀 愀 洀椀氀氀椀漀渀 漀昀 嘀椀攀琀渀愀洀✀猀 㠀 洀椀氀氀椀漀渀 瀀攀漀瀀氀攀 愀爀攀 攀猀琀椀洀愀琀攀搀 琀漀 猀甀爀昀 琀栀攀 一攀琀 ⴀⴀ 愀 氀漀眀 昀椀最甀爀攀 攀砀瀀氀愀椀渀攀搀 戀礀 琀栀攀 栀椀最栀 挀漀猀琀 漀昀 瀀攀爀猀漀渀愀氀 挀漀洀瀀甀琀攀爀猀 愀渀搀 琀攀氀攀挀漀洀猀⸀
Hanoi has signalled tough measures against those who use cyberspace to broadcast their criticism, however. This week, it acknowledged for the first time it was investigating two men who criticised the government on the Internet, and that one of them had been put under house arrest for 24 months.㰀瀀㸀吀栀攀 䘀漀爀攀椀最渀 䴀椀渀椀猀琀爀礀 猀愀椀搀 椀渀 愀 猀琀愀琀攀洀攀渀琀 漀渀 吀甀攀猀搀愀礀 吀爀愀渀 䬀栀甀攀 栀愀搀 漀瘀攀爀猀琀攀瀀瀀攀搀 嘀椀攀琀渀愀洀✀猀 搀攀洀漀挀爀愀挀礀 猀琀愀琀甀琀攀猀 愀渀搀 琀栀攀 爀椀最栀琀猀 漀昀 椀渀搀椀瘀椀搀甀愀氀猀 琀漀 挀爀椀琀椀挀椀猀攀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 栀愀搀 戀攀攀渀 瀀甀琀 甀渀搀攀爀 愀爀爀攀猀琀 戀礀 栀椀猀 栀漀洀攀 挀椀琀礀 最漀瘀攀爀渀洀攀渀琀Ⰰ 琀栀攀 䠀漀 䌀栀椀 䴀椀渀栀 䌀椀琀礀 倀攀漀瀀氀攀✀猀 䌀漀洀洀椀琀琀攀攀⸀
Hanoi said Khue had refused to accept correction from authorities. His term began on October 9 last year.
Vietnam did not spell out Khue's offence but rights groups say Khue is a literature professor and that another Internet dissident, Le Chi Quang, upset authorities in March after he put on the Internet a letter to China's President Jiang Zemin, titled "Beware of the Northern Empire".㰀瀀㸀吀栀攀 氀攀琀琀攀爀 挀漀瘀攀爀攀搀 戀漀爀搀攀爀 瀀愀挀琀猀 眀椀琀栀 䌀栀椀渀愀Ⰰ 刀攀瀀漀爀琀攀爀猀 匀愀渀猀 䘀爀漀渀琀椀攀爀猀Ⰰ 眀栀椀挀栀 椀猀 戀愀猀攀搀 椀渀 倀愀爀椀猀Ⰰ 栀愀猀 猀愀椀搀⸀
Vietnam and China have been bickering over their 1,350 km boundary for decades, and dissidents have accused Vietnam of giving up too much land to China.㰀瀀㸀㰀戀㸀刀䔀䐀ⴀ䠀䄀一䐀䔀䐀㰀⼀戀㸀
Media rights groups say that Quang is a computer teacher. Hanoi has called his articles anti-government propaganda.㰀瀀㸀䠀愀渀漀椀 挀漀渀昀椀爀洀攀搀 儀甀愀渀最✀猀 渀愀洀攀 戀甀琀 最愀瘀攀 渀漀 瀀攀爀猀漀渀愀氀 搀攀琀愀椀氀猀 椀渀 琀栀攀 吀甀攀猀搀愀礀 猀琀愀琀攀洀攀渀琀⸀ 䤀琀 猀愀椀搀 栀攀 眀愀猀 ∀挀愀甀最栀琀 爀攀搀ⴀ栀愀渀搀攀搀∀ 漀渀 䘀攀戀爀甀愀爀礀 ㈀ 眀栀椀氀攀 ∀椀氀氀攀最愀氀氀礀 甀瀀氀漀愀搀椀渀最 琀栀攀 椀渀昀漀爀洀愀琀椀漀渀∀⸀
The Committee to Protect Journalists, which is based in New York, said Quang is 32, and was held after officials at a popular domestic Internet Service Provider told authorities he used an Internet cafe in Hanoi to talk to "reactionaries" overseas.㰀瀀㸀嘀椀攀琀渀愀洀 栀愀猀 戀攀攀渀 挀爀愀挀欀椀渀最 搀漀眀渀 漀渀 䤀渀琀攀爀渀攀琀 挀愀昀攀猀Ⰰ 猀愀礀椀渀最 椀琀 眀愀渀琀猀 琀漀 爀漀漀琀 漀甀琀 瀀漀爀渀漀最爀愀瀀栀礀 愀渀搀 愀渀琀椀ⴀ最漀瘀攀爀渀洀攀渀琀 洀愀琀攀爀椀愀氀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 栀愀猀 漀爀搀攀爀攀搀 挀愀昀攀 漀瀀攀爀愀琀漀爀猀 琀漀 欀攀攀瀀 琀愀戀猀 漀渀 挀甀猀琀漀洀攀爀猀✀ 一攀琀 甀猀攀⸀

Human rights groups say at least four Vietnamese have been detained for publishing government criticism on the Internet.
