Terrorist claim against Australian man in Vietnam ‘absolutely false’, his wife says
Retired baker Chau Van Kham, 70, to appear in Ho Chi Minh City court after more than 10 months in detention
Allegations of terrorism made against a 70-year-old Australian man in Vietnam are “absolutely false and groundless”, his wife says, pleading with the prime minister to publicly advocate for his release.
Retired baker Chau Van Kham is scheduled to appear in court in Ho Chi Minh City for the first time Monday morning, after more than 10 months in detention. He is contesting the charges, but the Guardian understands his case may be finalised at his first appearance. If convicted, he may even be sentenced on Monday.
