Authorities in Vietnam are ramping up their crackdown on dissent just weeks before the Communist Party’s national congress, with the jailing of prominent journalist Pham Chi Dung on Tuesday (Jan 5) just the latest in a string of sentences handed down to critics of the state.
Before his arrest, Dung was chairman of the Independent Journalists Association of Vietnam, a group he founded that has advocated for press freedom in the country since 2014 yet is considered an illegal organisation by Hanoi.

Fish, undammed
You wouldn’t be a freshwater fish for quids in this world.
As human culture and ingenuity has progressed, the construction of instream barriers such as dams and weirs has grown as a significant threat to freshwater fish species worldwide.
There are more than 2 million dams and other stream barriers in the US alone.
Now, a team of researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has found a way to get fish around – or rather over – barriers, reconnecting them with breeding grounds and preferred habitats.
They’ve developed a “fishway” that utilises the acceleration of flows in a tube system to pump the fish – protected by a cushion of water – vertically through a tube up and over an obstruction, thus delivering them safely into the water on the other side.
