I suggest adding the following:

By letter of 18 December 2015, NGO's Lawyers for Lawyers (L4L) and Lawyers Rights Watch Canada called on the Vietnamese authorities to immediately release Nguyen Van Dai and conduct an independent investigation into the attack on him. http://www.advocatenvooradvocaten.nl/wp-content/uploads/Nguyen-Van-Dai-LRWCL4L15.Dec-2015.pdf

Furthermore, L4L requested the Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam and the Ambassadors of the EU Member States in Vietnam to visit Nguyen Van Dai in prison and to report on his condition. http://www.advocatenvooradvocaten.nl/wp-content/uploads/20151223-Letter-to-EU-and-Ambassadors-re-Nguyen-Van-Dai.pdf In a joint statement released on 6 January 2016, 26 organisations from around the world called on the Vietnamese Government to release Nguyen Van Dai  http://www.ishr.ch/sites/default/files/documents/final_joint_statement_-_nguyen_van_dai_and_le_thu_ha_-_final.pdf

On 13 January 2016, L4L furthermore requested the delegation to request the Vietnamese authorities that Nguyen Van Dai and his colleague are granted access to legal counsel and that their family members are allowed to visit them. http://www.advocatenvooradvocaten.nl/wp-content/uploads/20160113-L4L-Letter-to-EU-Delegation-to-Viet-Nam.pdf

On 26 April 2016, 19 international organizations called on the President of the U.S. to use talks about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement to urge Viet Nam to release political prisoners, repeal laws that criminalize the exercise of internationally protected rights and cease harassment of human rights defenders, including lawyers, in accordance with its international human rights obligations. Nguyen Van Dai was specifically mentioned in this letter. http://www.advocatenvooradvocaten.nl/wp-content/uploads/Vietnam-Letter-to-President-Obama-April-2016.pdf

On 14 October 2016, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed concern about Van Dai’s detention and called for his release and the release of all individuals detained in connection with Article 88 and similar provisions. http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=20679&LangID=E

Profound vandalism edit
Hello, I have noticed that during the middle of the article, his name was changed to "Dái", which is a slang for penis, instead of "Đài". I hope this could be fixed.
