Nhan Dan Online – Le Cong Dinh was arrested and urgently searched at 11.10 am on June 13, on a charge of colluding with foreign reactionaries to sabotage the Vietnamese State, violating article 88 of the Penal Code.

Le Cong Dinh, born in 1968. residing at BB34, My Khang, Phu My Hung quarter, Tan Phong ward, district 7, Ho Chi Minh City, works at the Le Cong Dinh Law One-Member Limited Company.

According to the reports by the Investigation Security Agency under the Ministry of Public Security, Le Cong Dinh has since 2005 got in touch with Nguyen Si Binh, head of the US-based reactionary organisation named ‘the People’s Action Party’ and ‘the Democratic Party of Vietnam’ and been a key member of the group of the opposing elements led by Binh.

The aim of these organisations is to overthrow the Communist regime in Vietnam through setting up the opposing political oganisations called ‘the Labour Party” and “the Social Party’ to assemble forces so as to ‘attack ‘from outside to inside’ with the aim of causing chaos to the domestic situation’.

Le Cong Dinh with an alias of ‘fourth older sister’ has arrived in the US and Thailand many times to meet Nguyen Si Binh to discuss and assess political and economic matters in Vietnam and work out the action plan to topple the Communist regime in Vietnam in 2010.

Le Cong Dinh has compiled tens of documents published on overseas hostile websites and other media distorting the policies and laws of the Party and State while calling to replace the leadership of the Communist Party, taking advantage of issues related to bauxite mining in the Central Highlands and the Truong Sa (Spratlys) and Hoang Sa (Paracels) archipelagoes to stir up thoughts against the Party and State and writing articles defaming leaders of the Party and Government.

He also took advantage of his work as a defence lawyer for a number of reactionaries like Nguyen Van Dai, Le Thi Cong Nhan and Nguyen Van Hai to propagandise against the regime and distort Vietnam’s constitution and laws.

The case is under further investigation.
