Vietnam jails another Facebook user for comments critical of government

HANOI - A court in Vietnam has jailed a Facebook user for 2-1/2 years over anti-government comments he posted on the social media website, police said on Thursday, as the Southeast Asian country continues its crackdown on dissent.

Thursday's decision comes days after Vietnam jailed another Facebook user for two years and three months on the same charges.
