The People’s Court in Vietnam’s central province of Khanh Hoa on June 2 sentenced two relatives of Tu Ngoc Thach, a school boy killed by local police in late 2013, to 15 months in jail each on charge of disturbing social order, state media reported Tuesday.
According to the final decision of the court in Van Ninh district, Mr. Mai Dinh Tam and Mr. Nguyen Van Ly were guilty of conducting public disorders after their nephew was beaten to death by local policemen.
The court said fishermen Tam and Ly triggered the demonstration of thousands of local residents in the National Road No. 1 to protest the brutal attack of local policemen which caused the death of Thach, a ninth-grade student in Van Tho commune in the morning of Dec 31, 2013.
Both Tam and Ly objected the sentences, saying they had not cause any trouble, just screaming when they learned that their nephew was beaten to death by police.
The duo said they arrived to the road from a long sea trip when thousands of people were already there.
Mr. Ly, the younger brother of Thach’s mother, said that he was forced to make fabricated confession by investigating officers during interrogation. The unlettered fisherman said he was signed the confession under pressure of a police officer named Cong.
Earlier on Nov 12-14, 2014, the People’s Court in Van Ninh sentenced policemen Le Minh Phat and Le Tan Khoe to respective 81 months and 36 months in prison for illegal detention and beating Thach to death. The court also gave a 9-month probation sentence for Le Ngoc Tam for illegal detention.
On March 3, the People’s Court of Khanh Hoa province rejected the sentences, saying there are signs of investigation violations and letting culprits at large in Van Tho commune.
Ms. Vo Thi Lan, who was in the scene, said that Phat severely beat handcuffed Thach, who was detained as a suspect in a murder case.
Policemen Phat and Tam said policeman Huynh Trung Thang also beat Thach, however, Thang remained unprosecuted./.
