TAIPEI, Taiwan — Vietnam has arrested another prominent blogger critical of an environmental disaster in the country caused by a subsidiary of Taiwan's Formosa Plastics Corp. Among causes Luong has rallied against online is the Vietnamese government's response to last year's catastrophic chemical spill at the Formosa Ha Tinh Steel factory, which decimated fisheries along the north central coast in Ha Tinh province. The plant is owned by Taiwanese industrial giant Formosa Plastics Corp. The spill devastated the affected area's residents, who strongly rely on fishing and tourism. Efforts by media to contact Luong since his arrest have failed and, according to Reuters, it remains unclear whether he has any legal representation.
