On the third anniversary of Australian citizen Chau Van Kham's detention in Vietnam, Human Rights Watch has called for his release, while his wife says she fears she may never see her husband again.

“This month marks the third anniversary of Australian Chau Van Kham’s arbitrary detention in Vietnam,” Ms Pearson said in a statement.

“Chau’s harsh conviction on terrorism charges is a travesty of justice. The Vietnamese government should pardon Chau and let him return to his family in Australia. “Chau has suffered a lot in the last few year. We are very worried about inadequate medical treatment and he hasn’t even seen an Australian consular officer face-to-face since April 2021,” Ms Pearson said.“The Vietnamese government has a track record of releasing others convicted of crimes into exile outside the country, following strong political pressure,” Ms Pearson said.Mr Kham’s wife Quynh Trang Chau also released a statement to mark the anniversary.

Ms Chau said DFAT had discussed her husband's case with the Vietnamese government in April 2021 and had organised a consular visit, but she said she had "not been aware of any further strong action undertaken by the Australian government to save my husband".Ms Chau also raised concerns about Mr Kham ongoing health issues.

“To deal with my husband’s ongoing medical problems , a regular supply of relevant medication is required. Currently I have been posting such medication to him monthly from Australia. He also does not have any regular health check for his health problems while in prison,” she said.
