Viet Tan's sinister plot through the 'Le Dinh Luong human rights award'

Ridiculous "award" of terrorist organization Viet Tan

Le Dinh Luong (born in 1965), residing in Hamlet 9, Hop Thanh Commune, Yen Thanh District, Nghe An Province, is an especially dangerous reactionary subject belonging to the terrorist organization "Viet Tan"; is an active propagandist, attracting subjects with opposing ideology in Nghe An and Ha Tinh to join the Viet Tan organization, has close relations with reactionary and opposing subjects inside and outside the area.

During 2016 and 2017, Le Dinh Luong frequently used the Facebook account “Lo Ngoc” to post hundreds of news, articles, and comments with anti-Party and anti-State propaganda content. Among them, there were 50 articles promoting and advocating the terrorist organization “Viet Tan”, with content opposing the Party and the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; 53 articles insulting leaders, defaming the Party and the State and calling for the overthrow of the people’s government, along with many posts inciting demonstrations and causing insecurity and disorder in the locality.

On August 16, 2018, the People's Court of Nghe An province sentenced Le Dinh Luong to 20 years in prison for "Activities aimed at overthrowing the people's government" and 5 years of probation from the date of completion of the prison sentence.

The trial received the support of local people and people across the country. However, for the terrorist organization “Viet Tan”, when Le Dinh Luong was sentenced, they considered this a “great loss”, because Luong wasvery active member of the organization "Viet Tan"in the Central provinces. Le Dinh Luong lured, enticed, and enticed many people to join the "Viet Tan" organization to carry out the goal of opposing the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, such as: Nguyen Van Hoa, Nguyen Van Oai, Dinh Huu Toan, Ngo Van Mai, Nguyen Viet Dung,...

AfterCourt of AppealOn October 18, 2018, the first instance verdict was upheld. Knowing that the situation could not be reversed, the terrorist organization Viet Tan created the so-called "Le Dinh Luong human rights award". Since then, every year, they have coordinated with reactionary organizations abroad to award prizes to so-called "human rights activists in Vietnam".

In 2023, since the beginning of November, the terrorist organization Viet Tan has continuously posted “new announcements”. The content is that the “Le Dinh Luong Human Rights Award” in 2023 will be held in Paris (France), with the theme “75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - freedom, equality, justice for Vietnam”…

The sinister plot behind the "award"

In fact, after Le Dinh Luong was arrested and imprisoned, the terrorist organization Viet Tan lost a “leader” in its propaganda campaign, expanding its scope of operations. With the mentality of “while there is life, there is hope”, they built Le Dinh Luong into an “icon” of the organization. From there, they continued to exploit Luong’s image and life to both sabotage our country and attract more disgruntled and opportunistic political subjects.

Every year, Viet Tan tries every way to connect with exiled reactionaries or self-proclaimed human rights organizations in the US, Japan, UK, Switzerland, Australia, etc. to award prizes in a noisy manner. And of course, the winners are also people hiding under the guise of "human rights activists" such as Tran Huynh Duy Thuc, Nguyen Hoang Quoc Hung, Le Quoc Quan, Ta Phong Tan, Nguyen Van Hai (blogger "Dieu Cay"), Phan Thanh Hai (blogger "Anh Ba Sai Gon"), Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh, Hoang Duc Binh, Tran Thi Nga, Pham Doan Trang...

In particular, to attract public attention, they took advantage of the event “75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights” to deceive and advertise the awarding of the “Le Dinh Luong human rights award”. They used deceptive tricks, making deceptive statements to the public under the name of “supporting human rights activists”, and at the same time, clearly showing their intention to profit and make money when calling for sponsorship from organizations and individuals. A Declaration that was born and influenced humanity like that was made a joke by Viet Tan… Even more defamatory, the so-called “Le Dinh Luong human rights award” is directly insulting the value of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the conscience of humanity.

Obviously, the insidious purpose of the terrorist organization Viet Tan in establishing and promoting the “Le Dinh Luong human rights award” is to exploit human rights issues to attract and recruit members. From there, they expand their scope of activities, and at the same time, coordinate with exiled reactionary organizations to distort the human rights situation in Vietnam.
