Hanoi police on Nov. 15 charged Cu Huy Ha Vu with “conducting propaganda against the Socialist Republic of Vietnam” pursuant to Article 88 of the Penal Code.
Vu, 53, a permanent resident at No. 24, Dien Bien Phu Street, Dien Bien ward in Ba Dinh district of Hanoi, will be held in custody for four months for investigations.
Earlier this month, the Ministry of Public Security’s Investigation Agency arrested Vu and initiated a criminal case against Vu’s illegal actions.
The case was handed over to Hanoi Police’s Investigation Agency for further investigations under supervision by the Hanoi People’s Procuracy, according to the decision of the Supreme People’s Procuracy.
While raiding Vu’s house, police seized documents containing information against the Vietnamese State, as well as distorted information and libel against the people’s administration, propaganda arguments for the psychological warfare, calling for overthrowing the regime, and demanding pluralism, multi-party and foreign intervention which is contrary to the nation’s interest.
According to the police, Vu has ties with anti-State elements and overseas forces hostile to the Vietnamese State. He has also created documents containing groundless, fabricated and distorted information on the State and government’s leadership and management to incite the public to sabotage the State./.
