US Congress: Urgent Appeal to Vietnam government regarding Formosa Environmental DisasterVictims
We are writing to express our deep concern over the ongoing plight of the victims affected by the environmental disaster caused by the Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation in central Vietnam in 2016. Despite assurances from the Vietnamese government that the situation has been resolved, numerous indications challenge this narrative and many victims have yet to receive justice and proper compensation. Numerous victims who have suffered significant losses have filed lawsuits, only to face denial and violence from the authorities when seeking legal recourse. Advocates who have spoken up for the victims have been unjustly imprisoned, with harsh sentences as long as 20 years, further exacerbating the injustice.
