An Australian member of a banned Vietnamese opposition party has been arrested after joining a rare Hanoi protest, the group said on Monday.
"A member of Viet Tan who gave public statements at the demonstration - Mrs Hong Vo, a 53-year-old social worker from Melbourne, Australia - was arrested in the evening of October 10, 2010," said a statement from Viet Tan, the Vietnam Reform Party.
