UN rules arrest of Dang Dinh Bach, lawyer and environmental defender in #Vietnam, arbitrary. He was convicted after he joined the #DAG advisory group set up under EU-Vietnam free trade agreement #EVFTA. Unacceptable that trade agreements are made at the expense of human rights!

L'UE doit mieux protéger les droits fondamentaux via des leviers internationaux comme la politique commerciale.

Pas d'accord d'investissement avec la #Chine mais bien avec le #Vietnam pas mieux classé où la liberté de la presse n'existe pas #EVFTA

2,5 ans après la mise en œuvre de l'#EVFTA, le respect des droits humains se détériore au Vietnam. Cette situation est inacceptable. J'ai proposé que ONG et #UE travaillent ensemble pour déposer une plainte auprès de @EU_Commission.
