SUBJECT:  NGUYEN QUOC QUAN: REQUESTS FOR CONSULAR AND SPOUSAL VISITS 
DENIED IN ADVANCE OF MAY 13 TRIAL 
 
Ref: A)Hanoi 395; B) Hanoi 417; C) HCMC 049 
 
1.  (SBU) SUMMARY: On May 7, 2008 ConOff met with Le Ba Dong, Chief 
of the Foreign Consular Relations Section at MFA, at MFA's request. 
Dong confirmed to ConOff that the trial of Nguyen Quoc Quan is 
scheduled for May 13.  He then noted that, because of the proximity 
of the trial and the fact that the GVN had allowed three consular 
visits since Quan's arrest, our current request for consular access 
was being denied.  He then gave ConOff a dipnote formally announcing 
this decision (Full text in para 5).  ConOff responded that Vietnam 
had an obligation to grant consular access under the Vienna 
Convention on Consular Affairs, and that it is U.S. policy to 
undertake monthly visits.  Dong replied that access could be granted 
after the trial.  MFA also denied our request that Nguyen Quoc 
Quan's spouse be allowed to visit him in prison.  End Summary 
 
2. (SBU) On May 7, 2008 ConOff was called to the MFA to meet with Le 
Ba Dong, Chief of Foreign Consular Relations Section.  Dong 
confirmed to ConOff that Nguyen Quoc Quan would be tried for 
"terrorism" on May 13.  He then noted that, because of the proximity 
of the trial and the fact that the GVN had allowed three consular 
visits since Quan's arrest, the current request for consular access 
was being denied.  He then gave ConOff a dipnote formally announcing 
this decision (text in para 5 below). 
 
3. (SBU) ConOff responded that Vietnam had an obligation to grant 
consular access under the Vienna Convention on Consular Affairs, and 
that U.S. policy requires us to request monthly visits for 
individuals in pre-trail detention.  ConOff reminded Dong that Quan 
had been arrested in November, 2007.  Consular Officers in Ho Chi 
Minh City had been granted access in December 2007, January 2008, 
and most recently on February 20, 2008.  We requested another visit 
on March 5, 2008.  ConOff expressed concern that it had taken the 
GVN over two months to reply to the request.  Dong agreed to raise 
the issue with officials in HCMC, but was doubtful that access would 
be granted before the trial. 
 
4. (SBU) PolCouns followed up with MFA on May 8, repeating our March 
5 diplomatic note and other previous requests for Nquyen Quoc Quan's 
wife to be given permission to visit him in prison.  MFA Americas 
Director Lai Thai Binh responded that it is "strictly forbidden" for 
anyone to visit Quan during the closing stages of the investigation 
process. 
 
5. (SBU) Text of Diplomatic Note: 
 
The Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam presents its compliments to the 
Embassy of the United States of America in Hanoi and has the honor 
to inform the Embassy as follows: 
 
(1) Regarding the fact that the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi 
Minh City sent note No. 220/08 dated April 23, 2008 to the Ho Chi 
Minh City External Relations Office requesting to pay a consular 
visit to Nguyen Quoc Quan, competent Vietnamese authorities state: 
 
The competent Vietnamese authorities have granted permit to the U.S. 
side to visit Nguyen Quoc Quan three times since he was arrested. 
Currently, the case is under ending process of investigation period 
and he will be brought to court, therefore the competent authorities 
cannot arrange for a consular visit at this time. 
 
(2) Vietnamese competent authorities stated:  The Ho Chi Minh City 
People's Court will hold initial trial of Nguyen Quoc Quan at 08:00 
May 13, 2008 at the Headquarter of the Ho Chi Minh City People's 
Court (address: 131 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, District 1).  Accused Nguyen 
Quoc Quan is sued of crime "terrorism" according to item 3, article 
84, Criminal Code of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. 
 
The Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs avails 
itself of this opportunity to renew to the Embassy of the United 
States of America the assurances of its highest consideration.
