The Hanoi People’s Court said it will open a trial against Cu Huy Ha Vu on April 4 on the charge of “conducting propaganda against the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam” pursuant to Article 88 of the Penal Code.

According to the Hanoi People’s Procuracy’s indictment, from 2009 to October 2010, Vu, born in 1957, had posted many writings and interviews posted on the Internet with contents against the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

These writings and interviews distorted the Party and State’s guidelines and policies, defamed the government and State institutions and blackened the Vietnamese people’s resistance war./.
