Vì Trái Tim Em _ For She Has the Nation's Heart

This song is dedicated to Do Thi Minh Hanh, who touched my heart with her pride and love for the people of Vietnam. (tbn)
Do Thi Minh Hanh (b. 1985), is serving her 7- year sentence for her advocacy on behalf of Vietnamese workers, democracy, and freedom, and her opposition of China' infringement on Vietnam's sovereignty. On February 23, 2010, the government of Vietnam arrested her. Subsequently, after a sham trial, they gave her and two friends, Nguyen Hoang Quoc Hung, 9-year and Doan Huy Chuong, 7-year sentences for "acts that harm security and demonstrate opposition to the national government per Article 89 of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam".
Do Thi Minh Hanh has been subjected to several prison transfers, mental torture, beatings, and forced labor.
-- Arrest and Torture in Di Linh District
-- Mental Torture in Public Security Ministry's Prison B34
-- Trial by the Lower Court: Injustice, Lack of Transparency, and Beatings
