## Resource

Vietnam’s crackdown on dissent is escalating, with arrests doubling in a year under sweeping laws like Article 331—now used to jail anyone questioning officials or the Communist Party, from activists to ordinary citizens voicing land rights or corruption concerns, as the government tightens control amid fears of unrest, echoing tactics seen in Ukraine and the Philippines.
