Authorities in Ho Chi Minh City have imposed an administrative fine of VND2.5 million ($110) on former prisoner of conscience and compositor-dissident Tran Vu Anh Binh for violating the rules of his probation sentence.
The People’s Committee of Ward 9, District 3 made its decision on the adminisrative fine after summoning him in its headquarters on March 6, Mr. Binh said.
The People’s Committee said Binh violated the regulations for propation as he went to visit his relatives and friends who live outside of his area during the Lunar New Year which fell in mid-February.
Binh said during these days, he was stopped by local police who reminded him that he is still under a three-year house arrest and cannot go out of his area without informing local authorities.
Compositor Binh was arrested in May 2012 together with compositor Viet Khang (Vo Minh Tri) on allegation of “conducting anti-state propaganda” under Article 88 of the country’s 1999 Penal Code for their posts on social networks and distribution of liftlefts criticizing the Vietnamese government. Later, Binh was convicted and sentenced to six years in prison and three years under house arrest afterward. He was freed in May 2017.
Viet Khang, who was sentenced to four years in prison, was allowed to live in exile in the US after completing his sentence. He left the country in February this year.
Viet Khang and Binh produced a number of songs about promoting patriotism and criticising the government on issues of the country’s sovereignty, human rights violation and other problems.
Their songs are very popular among activists.
