Police in Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi has officially announced that they are holding Mr. Nguyen Viet Dung, the leader and founder of the newly-established Republican Party of Vietnam, to investigate for allegation of causing public disorders.
In their writen document dated April 13 sent to Mr. Dung’s family in the central province of Nghe An, the Investigation Agency of Hoan Kiem district’s police said the activist will be investigated for the accusation under Article 245 of the country’s Penal Code.
If he is convicted, Mr. Dung may face imprisonment of between two and seven years.
Dung, 30, an engineer, was arrested together with his four fellows on April 12 after participating in a peaceful demonstration in Hanoi’s city in the morning of the same day to protest the city’s plan to cut 6,700 healthy aged trees and replace them with young trees.
During the demonstration with participation of hundreds of local activists, Dung and his fellows wore a black T-shirt with a logo of the Vietnam Republic Army which fought along with the U.S.’s side during the Vietnam War which ended 40 years ago.
On April 14, Hanoi police released four activists but holds Mr. Dung for further investigation which is supposed to focus on his role in the establishment of the RPV.
On April 2, the Nghe An province-based engineer publicly declared to set up Republican Party of Vietnam which commits to use peaceful measures to fight for the country’s independence, freedom and prosperity, and fully respect UN’s Declaration and international treaties Vietnam has signed.
Although Vietnam’s 2013 Constitution states that every Vietnamese has the right of freedom of assembly and association, the communists have not tolerated any attempt for setting up other parties.
Vowing to keep the country under one-party regime, the communist government has demanded all civil organizations to register for their activities, and launched severe crackdown against political dissidents and human rights advocates. Communist leaders repeatedly demand the security forces to prevent the establishment of opposition parties.
Along with using controversial Articles 79, 88 and 258 of the Penal Code, Vietnam’s communist government has also used criminal charges such as tax evasion and public disorders to silent local dissent.
According to international human rights bodies, Vietnam is imprisoning between 150 and 200 political prisoners. Hanoi always denies, saying it holds only law violators.
