Hanoi police have recently arrested a Vietnamese man for spreading information aimed at causing unrest and destabilizing the Vietnamese government and state.
Vu Quang Thuan, 44, of northern Thai Binh Province is facing criminal charges of “conducting propaganda against the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam”.
The People’s Supreme Procuracy yesterday confirmed that Thuan was arrested by police from the Ministry of Public Security at the Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City after he was expelled from Malaysia, where he hid after fleeing Vietnam about 21 months ago.
Thuan was expelled for suspected terrorism acts in Malaysia.
In 2007, Thuan and Le Thang Long and some other reactionaries set up “Phong trào Dân tộc Chấn hưng Nước Việt” (“Vietnam Progressive Democratic Movement”) to conduct propaganda and acts against the State of Vietnam.
During 2008, Thuan and other members of the “Movement” organized many reactionary seminars disguised in the form of “conferences on economic development methods” in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak, and some other provinces and cities.
After police apprehended Le Thang Long and his accomplices in May 2009, Thuan fled abroad and then migrated to Malaysia, where he continued preparing documents against the State of Vietnam and then disseminated those documents via the Internet.
In April 2010, Malaysian police uncovered a plot of a terrorist attack on the twin tower Petronas in the capital of Kuala Lumpur.
Identifying Thuan as one the suspects in the plot, local police detained and then expelled him.
