A prominent Vietnamese blogger jailed for 12 years for anti-state propaganda has lashed out at the regime from his prison cell, saying his trial had left the country's reputation in tatters.
In a document smuggled out of jail, Nguyen Van Hai - a founding member of the banned "Free Journalists Club" - said his trial "was the clearest evidence of the failure of building a democracy in Vietnam".
The "authoritarian" trial "has destroyed Vietnam's reputation", wrote Hai, who is better known by his alias Dieu Cay.
