Hints & Allegations in Vietnam
Martha Ann Overland/TIME:
Top Vietnamese Journalists Arrested
Now Nguyen Van Hai and Nguyen Viet Chien are in jail themselves, ironically on charges similar to those filed against the officials they investigated: "the abuse of power for personal gain."
That's not to say the press is blameless. "A lot of information printed in newspapers at the time had been made up," [Veteran journalist Huy] Duc claimed, adding that reporters were used by party sources to destroy their political opponents.
Power-abusers beware. There is nothing to be gained by the practice, and you might damage yourself severely.
