In Vietnam, Ngoc Nhu Quynh who goes by the handle of Mother Mushroom in her blog has received a 10 year jail sentence. She spoke out and wrote about injustice in her country. It is a serious crime to tell the truth about government in Vietnam. They don't utilize silly grade school pedantic actions and scream at you on social media while calling you names. They call it a crime against the state and put you in prison after a one day trial. If you survive, you emerge as a broken person. Threats against family and actual harm done against them are common.
She lived her life under a sound principle. "If not you, who?" It is a hard one that evil and nasty people take offense to. She knew that she would pay a high price for living and acting with this belief.
My reason that I started to blog was simple. I saw the cost of nations doing nothing in allowing Daesh / Daw'aish to destroy the Yazidi. Particularly was the face of a young boy looking into a camera and crying. He was in a dump truck being taken to a execution site by Daesh / Daw'aish. See the last link for other pictures. My principle is sound but crude in wording. If you see and know of a wrong, stand up and speak out about it. Not doing this means that you are nothing but a pile of s***. Because s*** can't stand.
Pray for this woman, her family, and her friends. They are in for hell for 10 years. Vietnam wrote the book on this. If you can, write the Vietnam government and ask for compassion in her case. Also write to amnesty international to help her.
I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
