Blogger “Me Nam” arrested over distorted information

The Investigating Security Agency under the Khanh Hoa Provincial Public’s Security Department prosecuted, arrested and searched Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh (a.k.a Blogger “Me Nam”) for conducting propaganda against the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in accordance with Article 88 of the Criminal Code of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.

The decisions and orders have been approved by People's Procuracy of Khanh Hoa Province.

In the past, Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh had been warned many times by authorities. However, her violation acts’ increased in both number and seriousness.

March 2009, Quynh participated in the reactionary organization named “Nguoi Viet yeu nuoc”. She had responsibility for the financial management of the reactionary organization and was assigned to write distorted and slanderous articles under the name of “Me Nam”.

Quynh then was arrested and detained for abusing the rights to democracy and freedom to infringe on the interests of the State and rights and interests of organisations and citizens by the Investigating Security Agency under the Khanh Hoa Provincial Public’s Security Department.

In the first case, Quynh was released after nine days of detaining by declaring with appropriate attitude and her commitment not to re-offend.

However, not long afterwards, Quynh resumed operations against the State under the guise of "human rights defenders": Quynh participated in many illegal groups. She had repeatedly called for gatherings, demonstrations to disrupt security and order in Khanh Hoa and Vietnam.

Recent years, Quynh took advantage of the right to freedom of speech and democracy to set up the blog “Me Nam” and a Facebook’s page for writing, disseminating and storing documents distorting the Party and State, sowing suspicions and eroding people’s trust in the administration.

Quynh’s acts were serious as she infringed national security and national interests.

Investigations have been being conducted in accordance with the laws.
