HOUSTON — A prominent blogger freed from prison in Vietnam on condition that she live in exile in the United States says she is glad to be reunited with her family and that she knows she is not alone in advocating for freedom. Quynh blogged as “Mother Mushroom” about human rights and industrial pollution. Speaking to reporters upon her arrival, Quynh said that even though she had prepared herself for seeing her family again, she was overwhelmed. “I was shocked when my son and my daughter hugged me on the plane,” Quynh said. Amnesty International says there are more than 100 “prisoners of conscience” in Vietnam.
