HCM City (VNA) – A 29-year-old man in Ho Chi Minh City has been detained and is facing criminal proceedings for producing, storing, and disseminating information opposing the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the municipal Department of Public Security reported on November 9.

Tran Khac Duc was found to be a member of an exile reactionary group and had been repeatedly summoned for questioning, and warned and cautioned by authorities. Despite these interventions, he remained deeply indoctrinated and maintained blind faith in the group's anti-state agenda. The man continued to communicate with and receive instructions from the group's leaders abroad.

He managed several reactionary websites and drafted numerous articles with content aimed at subverting the State, defaming national heroes, leaders, and President Ho Chi Minh, spreading false and fabricated information, damaging the Communist Party of Vietnam’s reputation, distorting the history, denying revolutionary achievements, and undermining the great national unity bloc.

In addition to his online activities, Duc sought to recruit and develop domestic supporters for the France-based group led by Nguyen Gia Kieng, which has carried out numerous subversive activities, including exploiting social media platforms to recruit participants and establishing domestic groups against the Vietnamese State.

The charge of “making, storing, and disseminating information opposing the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam” is stipulated in Article 117 of the 2015 Penal Code./.
