SUBJECT: NEW DISSIDENT SHOW TRIALS PLANNED IN HCMC 
 
 
1. (SBU) HCMC print and broadcast media prominently reported May 
4 that the GVN plans to conduct two new trials of political 
activists in HCMC in May.  Three members of the People's 
Democratic Party of Vietnam, Le Nguyen Sang, Huynh Nguyen Dao 
and Nguyen Bac Truyen, will be brought to trial in HCMC on May 
10 for "conducting anti-GVN propaganda" under article 88 of the 
Penal Code.  According to the press reports, Le Nguyen Sang, a 
medical doctor, received orders from his U.S.-based associate, 
Do Cong Thanh, to print and disseminate 1,600 fliers in HCMC 
with "distorted, anti-GVN, anti-Party content."  Nguyen Bac 
Truyen, a lawyer, was deemed responsible for organizing the 
PDP-VN in HCMC.  Truyen was also ordered to spread anti-GVN 
fliers but reportedly was too scared to do so.  Huynh Nguyen 
Dao, another private businessman in HCMC, was allegedly 
responsible for writing anti-GVN materials the dissemination of 
400 fliers printed by Sang. 
 
2. (SBU) A separate trial will be held for 8406 Bloc member and 
independent union organizer Tran Quoc Hien on May 15 in HCMC. 
Hien, Director of Saigon Legal Consultancy, is accused of 
"inciting" land protestors to demonstrate and of writing and 
disseminating on the Internet anti-Party and anti-GVN materials. 
 He has been charged under Article 88 of the penal code for 
"anti-GVN propaganda" and under Article 89 for "disturbing 
security." 
 
3. (SBU) HCMC television reported prominently that the HCMC 
Communist Party Committee on Internal Political Security called 
a meeting with the HCMC judges and prosecutors responsible for 
the two dissident cases.  The Party officials emphasized the 
seriousness of the defendants' "violations of law," and 
instructed the courts to impose heavy prison sentences. 
 
4. (SBU) Family members of the four defendants told us that they 
were unaware of the impending trials.  Separately, the lawyer 
for 8406 Bloc Member Truong Quoc Huy told us that he has yet to 
be notified of a new trial date for his client.  Huy's April 16 
trial was postponed. 
 
5. (SBU) Comment:  The public announcement of the new dissident 
trials coupled with ongoing media broadsides against other 
detained dissidents (lawyers Nguyen Van Dai and Le Thi Cong Nhan 
will be tried May 11 in Hanoi) indicate that the GVN is pressing 
forward with its dissident crackdown.  The Consul General and 
HCMC PolOff will seek government permission to attend the 
trials.  Although the Party is routinely involved in directing 
the outcome of "sensitive" cases, this is the first time of 
which we are aware that the Party has explicitly and publicly 
showcased its control over the judicial process.  End Comment. 
 
6. (SBU) Additional information on the four dissidents follows: 
 
-- Huynh Nguyen Dao, aka Huynh Viet Lang, has been in custody 
since August 15, 2006.  Dao, 38, was trained as a reporter and 
has a BA in Marxist-Leninist philosophy. 
 
Born 1968, he studied in HCMC University of Social Sciences and 
Humanities, Philosophy faculty. 
 
-- Le Nguyen Sang, aka Nguyen Hoang Long, also was arrested on 
August 15, 2006.  Sang, 48, graduated from Hue medical school 
and runs a private clinic and pharmacy in HCMC.  He is a member 
of the Central Committee of the PDP-VN.  The leaflets he 
produced and distributed called for the elimination of Article 
Four of the Vietnamese Constitution, which codifies single party 
rule in Vietnam. 
 
-- Nguyen Bac Truyen, 37, reportedly was trained as a lawyer, 
although he was not registered by the HCMC Bar Association.  He 
is a member of the Central Committee of the PDP-VN.  Truyen has 
been in custody since January 2007. 
 
-- Tran Quoc Hien is a member of the 8406 Bloc dissident 
movement as well as spokesperson for the United Workers-Farmers 
Organization (UWFO) of Viet Nam.  Hien was arrested in January 
2007.
