Anton Ngoc Thanh, a Vietnamese Redemptorist priest, has been listed in as one of 100 information heroes by Reporters Without Borders.
Fr Thanh has worked for Vietnam Redemptorist News since the 1990s and has often had problems with authorities in the communist-run nation.
Last year, he was arrested during a demonstration in support of an activist blogger.
Fr Thanh is under police surveillance and is frequently prevented from covering and publicising the human rights abuses he has witnessed.
