Charged under Art. 117 (2015 Code).
Doan Minh Tuan was arrested on Feb. 27, 2025, and charged on March 12 for "producing, storing, and distributing materials that oppose the Socialist Republic of Vietnam" under Article 117.
According to State media, since February 2024, Doan Minh Tuan used his Facebook account to live-stream, post, and share content that distorted government policies, defamed state officials, and undermined the Communist Party’s leadership.
On his Facebook as “Minh Tuan Doan”, Project88 found that his posts and livestreams were related to freedom of expression. Tuan is a supporter of Ukraine and the "walking monk" Thich Minh Tue. Some of the last posts before his arrest were about the plan to merge provinces and government ministries.
