In addition to Thai food, my other favorite cuisine is Vietnamese. I love the emphasis on fresh, raw vegetables to provide a temperature and texture contrast to many of the dishes. Here, shreds of cabbage, banana blossoms, perilla and other herbs sit on top of a bowl of bún mắm.

Believe me when I say that this dish is funky. I love it.

[15:55] Vietnam court upholds death sentence for property tycoon

A Vietnamese court has upheld the death penalty for a property tycoon in a multibillion-dollar fraud case - but said her life could still be spared if she paid back three quarters of the assets she embezzled.

[12:56] Dik doun bij loempiakraam Mekong Delta, voor een oer-Hollands snackje

Je zou hem naast de kroket of eierbal kunnen scharen: de Vietnamese loempia die je in elke Nederlandse stad kunt vinden als streetfoodsnack. We gingen langs bij de oudste loempiakraam van Groningen: Mekong Delta op de Grote Markt.

Although Vietnam ratified the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in 2015, such ill-treatment continues in #Vietnamese #prisons. In September and October 2024, four #PrisonersOfConscience went on hunger strike for several weeks to protest their conditions of detention in Prison No. 6 in Nghe An. These four activists included Le Manh Hung, Dang Dinh Bach, Bui Van Thuan and Trinh Ba Tu. They denounced the use of “tiger cages” as a means of #SolitaryConfinement, which were cubes made of iron bars with about 1 meter of space to move around as well as the inability to exit and interact with other prisoners.

The Vietnamese authorities have also increasingly violated human rights beyond their borders through #TransnationalRepression. Blogger Duong Van Thai, who was #kidnapped from #Bangkok in April 2023, was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 3 years probation in a closed-door trial on October 30, 2024 with the charge of “propaganda against the state” (Article 117 of the Penal Code).

Another ongoing case of transnational repression is against Y Quynh Bdap, a #Christian and member of the #Ede ethnic group in Vietnam. Bdap fled to #Thailand in 2018 to escape religious and political #persecution by Vietnamese officials. He was granted #RefugeeStatus by the UN refugee agency. But, under pressure from the Vietnamese government, the Thai police arrested Bdap in June 2024 with the threat of #extradition back to Vietnam.

Besides the case of Duong Van Thai kidnapped in Bangkok in 2023, there were two other cases of transnational kidnapping, which occurred in #Berlin in 2017 (Trinh Xuan Thanh) and in Bangkok in 2019 (Truong Duy Nhat). The three kidnappings happened under the purview of Mr. Tô Lâm, who was Minister of Public Security from 2016 to 2024. With these cases of transnational repression, the Vietnamese authorities are testing how far it can extend its power to #SilenceActivists.

I LOVE Saigon Supersound albums ❤️🎶🇻🇳🎵❤️

#SaigonSupersound releases Vietnamese music fused with elements of vintage western pop. This marriage of cultures results in unique, sophisticated sounds which transcend time and geographical boundaries to bridge east and west. The label started with two compilations that rediscovered gems from the so called “Golden Music” period in the south of Vietnam and soon began including new releases in the same vein. While considering the valuable heritage of Vietnamese popular music, the new releases are in the form of edits, re-works and remixes, as well as fresh compositions by upcoming artists which transport listeners from the past into the present. With this in mind, we are looking forward to developing new artists that share this common vision. The journey just started…let´s see where it will take us.

Dead frozen fish - Made Vietnamese fried pomfret with green mango salad

Last night, I made a classic #Vietnamese traditional family dish, fried #pomfret #fish with #GreenMango salad & eaten with nuoc cham sauce poured over. Me & Mom love this simple dish. You want green mangoes that aren't fully ripened & are a bit sour to the taste. That semi-sweet, sour mango flavour balances out the fried fish & nuoc cham sauce flavours. It's really tasty & simple to make.

The #Education for #Nature – #Vietnam #ENV, one of the country’s #pioneering social organisations in #wildlife #conservation, has released a 2 minute video clip titled "Chim troi keu cuu" (wild birds cry out for help) to urge the #community to refrain from #WildBird consumption and join #protection efforts.

The clip exposes haunting and cruel moments of the widespread destruction of the feathered animals, giving only a glimpse of the acts prevalent in many localities nationwide.

Vietnam is among the 25 countries with the richest #diversity of wild #birds species globally. However, #poaching and #IllegalTrading pose serious threats to hundreds of #indigenous and #migratory bird species in the country. In localities such as #QuangNinh and #ThaiBinh in the north and #ThuaThien - #Hue in the central region, #poachers employ sophisticated methods including decoys and birdsong mimicking devices to lure the animals, followed by nets, traps, or guns for capture. This rampant hunting seriously jeopardises Vietnam's #biodiversity.

#Transcription of my #speech for #deaf folks - as it wasn't provided on vid.

Hi, everyone. Thank you for showing up with #community #solidarity, to call for a #PermanentCeasefire in support of #Palestinians who are suffering #famine & #genocidal violence under #Israeli occupational forces.

My name is Que & I'm a survivor of the #USinvasion #WarOnVietnam. I was a #WarChild conceived & born under active shelling & had #IntergenerationalTrauma pre & post birth.

We were #displaced from our homes & survived in a #RefugeeCamp in Indonesia for a year. We were sponsored to come to Canada in late 1979 as #WarRefugees, seeking #asylum.

My patriarch family lived in #Cholon the #Chinese District in #Saigon & my matriarch family lived in a tiny village near Canto near the Hau River in #SouthVietnam. Both sides of my family had already lived through multiple foreign invasions & foreign militarized imperialism & colonialism by the time the US invaded & occupied our lands.

Many of us living Vietnam war civilian survivors can relate so well to the many struggles, the suffering, the violent foreign occupation & also the passionate resilience & resistance of the Palestinian peoples.

Throughout the 1960s into the 1970s both areas that my family lived in were carpet bombed. My Matriarch family village was bombed out of existence by 1970. The rebuilding took 18 years. Cholon was #CarpetBombed twice & the scenes from those aftermaths are eerily similar to the scenes from #Gaza after #Israel carpet bombed the area.

The #USmilitary used #Vietnamese #civilians as involuntary guinea pigs. They tested out never used before #WarMunitions including #biochemical warfare like #AgentOrange & #NerveGasBombs on our peoples.

Our peoples, our lands, our waters - still suffer the toxic & deadly effects from the illegal - illegal #biowarfare chemical uses by the #USA to this day & our peoples & especially our children are still suffering from the many leftover war munitions, exploding, maiming & killing innocent civilians.

Israel is treating the Palestinian peoples very much like the USA had treated our Vietnamese peoples. Like we are not human. We do not deserve to live. The dehumanization of Palestinians is too similar to how the USA dehumanized our Vietnamese peoples. We're savages. We are vermin. We're stupid tunnel rats. We're gooks & we deserve to die.

The USA bombed our #schools, our #hospitals, our #temples, our #ResidentialAreas - just like Israel has bombed schools, hospitals, temples & residential areas in Palestine. The USA has more powerful weapons of mass destruction while fighting resistance forces with much less firepower. The Vietnamese #ResistanceForces also used #TunnelSystems & some of them are now part of an #educational #LivingMuseum.

Vietnam is now #SovereignNation because the occupational militarized US forces left which opened up our path to #DiplomaticNegotiations. Palestinians deserve their true path to diplomatic Solutions too. They deserve a sovereign state. That can not happen without a permanent - not a temporary - a permanent ceasefire - an end to #IllegalOccupation by Israel.

You cannot occupy & oppress a people & claim you are a #democracy. True #Democratic states do not occupy & oppress people for decades. True Democratic states do not jail, murder & deny #PressFreedom to #journalists. True democratic states do not arrest, vilify, nor illegally detain their own citizens with dissenting voices. True democratic states don't continue to violate multiple #InternationalLaws so openly & so disrespectfully.

Israel has become too #arrogant that's mainly due to the Western powers like the USA & #Canada continuing to put their #WarProfiteer interests over #humanitarian & global #PublicInterests.

At a time when we need an arms embargo on Israel, the US & Canada sent billions more in war munitions & funding to Israel. It is shameful.

Our politicians tell us there's not enough money to fund more essential health & medical service needs. There's not enough money to increase the pay scale of essential medical staff. There's not enough money to fund environmental protection & cleanups. There's not enough to help our seniors & disabled not live in poverty anxiety. There's not enough to fund safer, more inclusive, accessible education. There's not enough to provide more low income & some more support of housing for our most marginalized citizens. These are all citizen needs that our governments have told they cannot afford to fully fund but they can find billions to fund ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. That is not okay & that is not in our public interest.

I urge everyone here to please keep contacting all of your local provincial & federal representatives in every way possible & ask them to please push Trudeau to call for both a permanent ceasefire & to initiate an arms embargo on Israel - NOW.

Please keep having the conversations with people you know & people you don't know about Palestine. The conversations are important. Please keep standing in solidarity with Gaza & all Palestinians.

The antidote to despair is action. This here is humanity in action & I thank all of you for showing your humanity & your ongoing support of Palestinians because remember, no democracy can exist without the freedom of citizens dissenting voices and I appreciate all of your voices dissenting, against our government who is still supporting genocide.

Free Palestine!
