At the same time, Lawyer Tran Dinh Trien - Deputy Director and Head of the Lawyers' Rights Protection Board - Hanoi Bar Association told VOV.VN that as soon as he received the information, he went to investigate to clarify the case to request strict handling to protect the legitimate rights of practicing lawyers.
Mr. Trien met with two lawyers Tran Thu Nam and Le Luan to understand the situation. According to information from lawyer Tran Dinh Trien, two lawyers Tran Thu Nam and Le Luan, along with a number of other lawyers, are defending the legal rights and interests of the family of Do Dang Du (residing in Dong Phuong Yen commune, Chuong My district, Hanoi) - the defendant who was beaten at the Hanoi Police detention center and later died.
On the afternoon of November 3, two lawyers went to work with Do Dang Du's family. After finishing work, they had just left the house for 200 meters when 8 masked men on motorbikes blocked the car, pulled the door open and beat them.
According to Mr. Trien, lawyer Tran Thu Nam had blood all over his face and his clothes were scattered. Lawyer Le Luan was beaten and fell into the field. "At 6 p.m., when I met lawyer Tran Thu Nam, his nose was still bleeding," said Mr. Trien.
After the two lawyers entered the hospital, at about 7:30 p.m. the same day, Mr. Trien went to the Chuong My District Police Headquarters to work, but the officer on duty informed him that the leaders had already arrived at the scene. Mr. Trien continued to go to the scene, but was informed by the commune police that since afternoon, no district police had come to work.
The assault by 8 people left lawyer Le Luan with a cut eyelid and bleeding, while lawyer Nam was more seriously injured with a bleeding mouth and swollen eyes and nose.
Talking to lawyer Tran Thu Nam, he said that after being examined at Hospital 198, the results showed that he had a broken nose, sinus damage, eye damage and had to be hospitalized to monitor for a concussion.
Talking about the case, Lawyer Tran Dinh Trien said: "The Hanoi Bar Association is determined to protect the lawyer in this case to the end"./.
