Le Thanh Tung, a political dissident who completed his four-year imprisonment in mid 2015, was arrested in December last year.
Mr. Tung, who works in the same group with Mr. Tran Anh Kim, will face allegation of conducting anti-state propaganda activities under Article 88 of the Penal Code, the same charge against Mr. Kim who was detained in early September.
Tung was said to be arrested in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai in mid December and deported to Thai Binh for investigation. However, his wife has yet to receive official notice from authorities about his detention.
On December 24, police searched his house in Soc Son district in Hanoi and took away a number of his items and his wife’s cell phone despite strong protest of the woman.
Police refused to tell his wife where they keep him but pledged to inform her later this month.
Mr. Tung is a member of pro-democracy Bloc 8406. In 2011, he was arrested and sentenced to four years in prison and three years under house arrest on the fabricated charge of conducting anti-state propaganda.
He was released in June 2015, six months ahead of his term’s ending.
After being freed, Mr. Tung committed to continue to fight for multi-party democracy in Vietnam.
Vietnam’s government has intensified crackdown against local dissidents and human rights activists several months ahead of the 12th National Congress of the ruling Communist Party of Vietnam which is slated for January 20-28.
On December 16 last year, police arrested human rights advocate Nguyen Van Dai and his assistant Le Thu Ha, charging them with conducting anti-state propaganda under Article 88 of the Penal Code.
In addition, security forces have also harassed other activists, including former prisoners of conscience Tran Minh Nhat and Truong Minh Tam, and land rights activist Nguyen Huy Tuan.
The Vietnamese persecution against local government critics have met strong protest from domestic public, foreign governments and politicians as well as international human rights bodies.
