Australian activist imprisoned in Vietnam tells family he is 'terrified'

Key points

• Imprisoned Australian pro-democracy activist Hiep Tran has told his family he never crossed into Vietnam. Supporters say this shows he was abducted by Vietnamese authorities a month ago.
• Australian officials met Mr Tran at a detention centre in Ho Chi Minh City, where he is held after disappearing in Cambodia. His wife, Chloe Dang, said he described being traumatised and terrified.
• Vietnamese authorities say Mr Tran and Norwegian activist Duc Thuan Nguyen tried to illegally enter Vietnam, a claim the embassy calls unfounded.
