September 8, 2020: interrogated by public security
On September 3, 2020, the Security Investigating Agency of the Public Security of Binh Duong Province sent a summons to Nhan requiring him to have "a talk" with them. No specific reason was given, but it may be related to his role in IJAVN
He was able to return home after the meeting. However, considering the fact that IJAVN members Pham Chi Dung, Nguyen Tuong Thuy, and Le Huu Minh Tuan were all arrested in recent months, he is facing high risk of arrest.
