"An appeals court in Vietnam has upheld the sentences of two prominent bloggers jailed in September for 'anti-state propaganda', a lawyer has told the BBC.
The court ruled that the sentences and convictions of writer Nguyen Van Hai and former policewoman Ta Phong Tan should not be overturned.
Nguyen Van Hai and Ta Phong Tan received 12 and 10 years in jail respectively after a brief trial.
The pair were found guilty of posting political articles on a banned website called Free Journalists' Club, as well as posting articles critical of the government on their own blogs.
