The Hanoi People’s Court has decided to hold the first-instance hearing on March 28 to try local activist Truong Van Dung (aka Truong Dung) on allegation of “conducting anti-state propaganda” under Article 88 of the Criminal Code.
According to the court’s notice sent to his wife on March 10, Mrs. Nghiem Thi Hop must attend the trial as a witness of her husband’s case.
Dung, 65, was arrested on May 21 last year. He was held incommunicado until early this month when he was permitted to meet his lawyer Ngo Anh Tuan for the first time to prepare for his hearing.
The Hanoi-based attorney said during the 30-minute meeting with Mr. Dung in the Temporary detention No. 1 of the Hanoi Police Department, they did not speak much as he has not received files of the case. He planned to go to the city’s procuracy agency to get the files in mid-March.
Mr. Dung is among activists in Hanoi often participating in peaceful demonstrations in various issues, including China’s violations of Vietnam’s sovereignty in the East Sea (South China Sea), environmental pollution disaster caused by Formosa steel plant’s waste in the central coastal region, nationwide land grabbing, and unjustice in many localities.
He has also taken part in charity activities to help families of prisoners of conscience.
Dung faces imprisonment of between five and 12 years in prison if convicted.
Last year, eight activists were convicted of “conducting anti-state propaganda” and sentenced to between five and eight years in prison.
