澳大利亚籍越南裔民主活动人士陈海平于9月18日在柬埔寨首都金边失踪后，被越南当局拘捕1。越南方面指控陈海平涉嫌恐怖融资和伪造身份证件罪名1，并称其为被列为恐怖组织的民主团体越坦的成员1。陈海平目前被关押在胡志明市B34拘留中心，该中心因对政治犯的人权侵犯而臭名昭著1。
根据陈海平妻子的说法，他已有三周多无法联系1，且在拘留中心度过了51岁生日1。人权观察组织对越南的指控提出异议，将越坦描述为"在许多国家包括澳大利亚公开合法运作的反对政党"1。陈海平妻子和人权组织正呼吁澳大利亚政府公开施压，要求其立即无条件释放1。曾在伊朗被关804天的前澳大利亚被拘禁人士基利·摩尔-吉尔伯特表示，澳政府保持沉默导致她被判刑更重1。
An Australian-Vietnamese democracy campaigner has been held incommunicado by Vietnamese authorities for more than three weeks following his detention in mid-September.1 Tran Hiep was apprehended after disappearing on September 18 in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh and subsequently transferred into Vietnamese custody on charges of terrorism financing and identity document forgery.1 He is currently confined at the B34 detention center in Ho Chi Minh City, a facility with a documented record of human rights violations against political detainees.1
Vietnamese officials have identified Hiep as a member of Viet Tan, an organization the government classifies as a terrorist group.1 However, Human Rights Watch characterizes Viet Tan as "an opposition political party that operates openly and legally in many countries, including Australia."1 Hiep spent his 51st birthday in the detention facility while held without contact.1 His wife and advocacy organizations have called on the Australian government to publicly pressure Vietnamese authorities for his immediate and unconditional release.1
Former Australian detainee Kylie Moore-Gilbert, who spent 804 days imprisoned in Iran, has cautioned that government silence can result in harsher sentencing, citing her own experience.1
