Le journaliste David Brown rappelle le parcours de Pham Doan Trang, une net-citoyenne, écrivaine et activiste actuellement emprisonnée au Viêt Nam.
Pham Doan Trang was merely telling the government to honor its rights commitments.

In a photo taken on the night she was arrested, Trang is clearly exhausted, worn down by years on the run. Flanked by two policemen, one in uniform, the other plainclothes, Trang is walking away from the camera. She wobbles as she walks, the consequence of injuries suffered at the hands of other policemen years earlier.
