Khai was invited for questioning by the Security Investigating Agency of the Dong Nai Department of Public Security on October 20, 2020 and then arrested subsequently under “emergency circumstances," as coined the public security force. His wife received the arrest notice from public security on October 21, 2020.  

Although this was not the first time he received such invitations. Khai has been repeatedly harassed by the local public security. He was invited to “work” with the Public Security of Trang Bom District (Dong Nai Province) for allegedly violating the social distancing policy on April 21, 2020. He was then also invited for questioning two times by the Bien Hoa Public Security in August 2020, when he was accused of having ties with the overseas democracy group Viet Tan.
