On November 13, 2014, the Vietnamese labor rights activist Do Thi Minh Hanh visited the German Bundestag. She met MP Michael Brand, Chairman of Committee on Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid of the German Bundestag, who has adopted her during the imprisonment, and MP Frank Heinrich, Member of Committee on Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid of the German Bundestag, who has visited her in Thanh Xuan Prison in Hanoi on April 24, 2014. She was sorry for not being able to meet MP Sabine Baetzing-Lichtenthäler who has also sponsored her case. MP Baetzing-Lichtenthäler was appointed Minister of Social Affairs in the Rheinland-Pfalz State some days before her visit.
