HANOI- A court in Vietnam on Monday sentenced a US citizen to 12 years in prison after finding him guilty of "attempting to overthrow the state" in a trial which lasted only half a day, his lawyer said.

"Michael admitted guilt at the trial and asked the jury to reduce his sentence so that he could soon reunite with his family," he said. Nguyen, who was born in Vietnam and has lived in the United States since he was a child, was detained in Vietnam in July 2018 on suspicion of activity against the government, said his brother-in-law, Mark Roberts.
