JAILED VIETNAMESE DISSIDENT TO BE TRIED. LEFT-WING "HUMAN RIGHTS" ADVOCATES SILENT.

BBC:

A Catholic priest is to go on trial in Vietnam accused of disseminating information to undermine the state and forming an illegal political party.

Father Nguyen Van Ly is a prominent pro-democracy activist who has been under house arrest since last month.

Father Ly, 59, has already spent 14 of the past 24 years in prison for his opposition to Communist Party rule.

THE LEFT IS CONSTANTLY CONDEMNING THE USA FOR GITMO (WHERE TERRORISTS PUT ON WEIGHT!), AND DEFENDING POLICE-KILLERS LIKE MUMIA, AND WOULD-BE GENOCIDAL TERRORISTS LIKE PADILLA, BUT THEY ARE SILENT ON THIS CASE. - JUST LIKE THEY ARE SILENT ABOUT THE BRITISH MARINES WHO ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE - AND THE IDF SOLDIERS WHO ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE.

THE LEFTIES NEVER UTTER A WORD ABOUT HOW THESE PEOPLE ARE BEING HELD ILLEGALLY IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF GENEVA (AND OSLO).

THIS PROVES THAT THE LEFT'S DEFENSE OF THE "VICTIMS" IN GITMO, AND OF MUMIA AND PADILLA -- AND OTHER SIMILAR CASES - IS REALLY ABOUT AMERICA-BASHING AND NOT HUMAN RIGHTS.
