On Sept. 10, 2024, a court in Hanoi sentenced Hoang Tung Thien to six years in prison under Article 117 for postings on his Facebook page that allegedly discredit Party leaders and call for a multi-party political system. According to state media, Thien set up two websites named “Ước Mơ Việt” (Vietnamese Dream) and Đảngđoàn.org to attract people to join him. Prosecutors allege that Thien planned to found a political party named “Lạc Hồng” in the second phase of his movement; however, as of the trial date, no one had joined Thien’s group.
