1 | Vietnamese Photojournalist Continues Hunger Strike After Four Years Behind Bars | Vietnamiana Mpaka Sary Fanao An-gazety Manohy Mitokona Tsy Mihinan-kanina Taorian'ny Efatra Taona Nifonjàny |
2 | Young photo journalist Minh Man Dang Nguyen has been on hunger strike for prolonged periods of time in recent months to protest the ill-treatment she has received while in detention in Vietnam. | Tanora mpaka sary fanao an-gazety i Minh Man Dang Nguyen, nitokona tsy nihinan-kanina nandritry ny fotoana lavabe tato anatin'ny volana vitsivitsy mba hanoherany ny fitondra tsizarizary atao amin'ny fitànana am-ponja azy ao Vietnam. |
3 | As a result of her repeated hunger strikes, she recently weighed only 35 kg. | Vokatry ny fitokonana miverimberina tsy hihinan-kanina, tsy ela akory izay dia 35kg monja no lanjany. |

5 | Minh Man was arrested almost four years ago for taking photos of activist graffiti at an anti-China protest in Ho Chi Minh City. | Efatra taona lasa teo izay i Minh Man no nosamborina fa naka sary ny soratra rangodrangotry ny mafàna fo nandritry ny fihetsiketsehana iray nanoherana an'i Shina nitranga tao an-tanànan'i Ho Chi Minh. |
6 | In January 2013 she was convicted alongside 13 other bloggers and activists for committing “activities aimed at overthrowing the government” in what was described as the country's largest subversion case in years. | Ny Janoary 2013, voaheloka izy niaraka taminà bilaogera sy mpikatroka hafa 13 fa hoe nanao “hetsika nikendry ny hanongana fanjakana” izay tao anatin'izany no namaritana ny hoe fanozongozonana politika goavana indrindra teo amin'ny firenena tao anatin'ny taona maro. |
7 | She was sentenced to eight years in prison and five subsequent years of house arrest. | Nohelohina valo taona an-tranomazina izy ary dimy taona tazonina aminà toerana tsara ambina. |
8 | Despite calls for her release, Minh Man is still in prison. | Na teo aza ireo antso ho famotsorana azy, mbola any am-ponja foana i Minh Man. |
9 | In addition to the lengthy prison sentence and subsequent house arrest, Minh Man is also subject to another form of punishment: increasingly unfair and discriminatory treatment in detention. | Ho fanampin'ny sazy famonjàna mandritry ny fotoana lava sy ny fihazonana azy tamina toerana tsara ambina, mbola niharan'ny endrika sazy hafa ihany koa i Minh Man: fomba fitondra faran'izay tsy rariny sy manavakavaka atao any am-ponja. |
10 | Since November 2014, Minh Man has been held in near-solitary confinement in a separate area of the prison that resembles a high-security detention facility. | Hatramin'ny Novambra 2014, fitànana manoka-monina aminà faritra mihataka ao amin'ny fonja no itazonana an'i Minh Man, toerana toy ny fonja faran'izay tsara aro indrindra. |
11 | The reasons for this are unclear, but the “disciplinary zone” of the prison where she is held was reportedly newly built for the sole purpose of detaining prisoners of conscience. | Tsy mazava ny anton'izany, saingy ilay “faritra fampanarahana fitsipika” ao amin'ny fonja izay itazonana azy dia voalaza fa vao naorina natao fotsiny ho an'ireo fonjaina noho ny feon'ny fieritreretany. |
12 | Unlike other prisoners, Minh Man is prohibited from taking part in any physical activities and exercise. | Tsy toy ireo hafa voafonja, fa sakanana i Minh Man tsy handray anjara amin'ireo fampiasana vatana sy fanazaran-tena. |
13 | Interaction with non-political prisoners is not possible. | Tsy azo atao ny fifaneraserana amin'ireo mpifonja tsy noho ny resaka politika. |
14 | Political prisoners are also regularly verbally attacked and provoked. | Matetika iharan'ny fihantsiana sy famelezana am-bava koa ireo voagadra noho ny antony politika. |
15 | To make matters worse, Minh Man's visitation rights have on occasion also been limited. | Mba haharatsy kokoa ny raharaha, indraindray koa no feperana ny zon'i Mihn Man tsy ho azo tsidihana. |
16 | For instance when her mother, once a prisoner of conscience herself, was denied access to her daughter recently. | Ohatra, vao haingana ny reniny, izay efa gadra noho ny feon'ny fieritreretany ihany koa, no nosakanana tsy hifandray tamin'ny zanany vavy. |
17 | These actions are all aimed at heightening the psychological pressure caused by near-solitary confinement and creating a climate of fear and paranoia. | Ireny hetsika rehetra ireny dia samy nikendrena daholo ny hampakarana ny tsindry ara-tsaina ateraky ny fanokana-monina sy hamoronana tontolo feno tahotra sy aretin-tsaina mampirediredy. |
18 | Minh Man's treatment is part of a bigger trend. | Ampahany aminà fironana lehibe kokoa io fomba fitondra an'i Minh Man io. |
19 | In a 2013 report on prisoners of conscience in Viet Nam, Amnesty International noted that many political prisoners were held in harsh conditions that amounted to cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment. | Tao anaty tatitra iray tamin'ny 2013 momba ireo gadra noho ny feon'ny fieritreretany ao Viet Nam, nomarihan'ny Amnesty International fa marobe ireo gadra noho ny politika no tazonina amin'ny fomba faran'izay henjana, izay efa azo ampitoviana amin'ny fomba fitondra lozabe, tsy manaja ny maha-olona sy manimba. |
20 | They were subjected to ill-treatment, including by other prisoners, with no intervention from prison guards. | Iharan'ny fomba fitondra tsy mendrika ry zareo, isan'izany ny ataon'ireo gadra hafa, izay jeren'ireo mpiambina fonja fotsiny. |
21 | Amnesty International further reported that they were often held in solitary confinement or in isolation for lengthy periods of time as punishment. | Nandeha lavidavitra kokoa aza ny Amnesty International tamin'ny tatitra nataony fa hoe mazàna izy ireny no tànana aminà toerana fanokàna-monina na atokana mihitsy mandritry ny fotoana lavabe ho toy ny saziny. |
22 | Former prisoners of conscience have confirmed this and reported that they were subjected to solitary confinement and verbal abuse, were denied books and received inadequate food and drinking water, which caused them additional health problems. | Nanamafy an'io ireo efa nogadraina noho ny feon'ny fieritreretany ary nitatitra fa efa niharan'ny fanokàna-monina ary nahazo faniratsiràna am-bava ry zareo, tsy navela hamaky boky na hahazo izay sakafo sahaza na hisotro rano, izay niteraka olana ara-pahasalamàna fanampiny ho azy ireo. |
23 | As underlined by the UN Human Rights Committee and the UN Special Rapporteur on torture, prolonged solitary confinement, particularly where combined with isolation from the outside world, may amount to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. | Araka ny nanasongadinan'ny Kaomisionan'ny Firenena Mikambana misahana ny Zon'Olombelona azy sy ny mpitondrateny manokan'ny Firenena Mikambana momba ny fampijaliana, ny fanokanà-monina mandritry ny fotoana maharitra, indrindra fa afangaro amin'ny tsy fahafahana mifandray amin'ny tontolo ivelany, dia azo ampitoviana amin'ny fampijaliana na fitondra hafa tsy misy antra, tsy manaja ny maha-olombelona ary manimba. |
24 | Minh Man was joined in in her hunger strikes by Ta Phong Tan, a former police officer and founding member of the Club for Free Journalists, who is serving a ten-year sentence in the same prison as Minh Man. In July 2012, Ta Phong Tan's mother died from her injuries after setting herself on fire in front of government offices in protest of her daughter's detention. | Nanampy an'i Minh Man amin'ny fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina i Ta Phong Tan, manamboninahitra fahiny tao amin'ny polisy sady mpikambana mpanorina ny Klioban'ny Mpanao Gazety Malalaka, izay manefa sazy folo taona ao amin'ny fonja misy an'i Minh Man. Ny Jolay 2012, maty noho ny ratra nanjo azy ny renin'i Ta Phong Tan taorian'ny nandoroany tena teo anoloan'ny biraon'ny governemanta ho fanoherany ny fitànana am-ponja ny zanany vavy. |
25 | The Media Legal Defence Initiative has updated the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention on the deterioration of Minh Man's situation after an earlier petition was filed in December 2014 in the hope that this will support her courageous struggle for improvement of prison conditions. | Nitondran'ny Hetsika Ho Fiarovana Araka Ny Lalàna ny Media fanavaozam-baovao ho an'ny Vondron'ny Firenena Mikambana Miasa mandinika ny Fitazonana tsy misy Fitsarana, ny momba ny fiharatsian'ny toe-draharahan'i Minh Man taorian'ny nahafenoan'ny fanangonan-tsonia natao teo aloha teo natao ny Desambra 2014, niaraka tamin'ny fanantenana hoe mba hanampy ny ady feno fahasahiana ataony io ho fanatsaràna ny fomba fitànana am-ponja azy. |
