HANOI: A court in Vietnam jailed a music teacher for 11 years on Friday for a series of posts on Facebook that the government said were"anti-state".
"At the trial, Tinh said the accusation was not true as this Facebook account didn't belong to him," said Mieng. Tinh, who teaches music at a provincial college, was arrested in May after he was found writing and sharing anti-state posts and videos on his Facebook account, police said in a statement.Late last month, a 54-year-old architect was jailed for 12 months over the accusations he uploaded anti-government posts to his Facebook account, police said in a separate statement on the department's website.
