Facebook user Dang Hoang Minh, 28, was sentenced to seven years in prison by a court in Hau Giang Province. It is not clear if Minh had legal representation at his trial. Minh was charged with “anti-state propaganda” under Article 117 for his posts in 2020 that were deemed to be false and defamatory toward the Communist leadership, including the late Ho Chi Minh.
The indictment alleged that between June and December 2020 Minh posted on his Facebook accounts many posts that painted the government in a bad light, smeared the leadership, and spread fake news which caused confusion among the people. It was also alleged that during that time, Minh used his Facebook account to share allegedly unlawful posts to another unidentified social network in which he is currently an administrator.
The People’s Court of Hau Giang Province sentenced Minh to seven years of imprisonment and two years of probation.
