Doan Van Dien

Đoàn Văn Điện is a Vietnamese union leader currently imprisoned by the government of Vietnam. Amnesty International considers him a prisoner of conscience and has called for his release.

Đoàn was an activist with the United Workers-Farmers Organization, a labor union unrecognized by the Vietnamese government. In advance of an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, authorities imprisoned all of the UWFO's members, including Đoàn Văn Điện and his son Doan Huy Chuong. The group's legal consultant, Tran Quoc Hien, was arrested the following January, two days after agreeing to become the group's spokesman.
