Vietnamese authorities have arrested a high-profile lawyer for allegedly conspiring against the government.
Le Cong Dinh, 41, one of Vietnam's most respected lawyers, has defended a number of pro-democracy activists.
He was alleged to have been found with a copy of a new constitution he wrote aiming to replace the current one.
The police said they will charge Mr Le with Article 88 of the Vietnam's Criminal Code for distributing anti-government materials.
