Vietnam activists 'to form multi-party democracy' [View all]
A group of activists in Vietnam have expressed their intention to form a new political party to promote multi-party democracy in the communist country.
They include members of the Communist Party, which has a monopoly on political power under the constitution.
The move comes as officials have recently detained dozens of bloggers for dissent.
A court recently reduced the sentences of two activists accused of spreading anti-state propaganda.
