Vietnamese American from Orange County released from Vietnam prison

An Orange County man who last year was sentenced to spend 12 years in prison in Vietnam was released by the Vietnamese government and is back home with his wife and four daughters, a family spokesman said Monday.
Michael Nugyen, an Orange resident who was arrested in July 2018 during a trip to Vietnam and charged with attempting to overthrow the government, returned home last Thursday. His family learned of the surprise release only a day earlier.
“He looks fabulous,” said Mark Rober
