After Nguyen Van Oai completed his prison sentence at Nam Ha prison, he was transferred to his residence in Quynh Vinh commune, Hoang Mai town, Nghe An province to continue serving an additional sentence of 4 years of probation, prohibited from leaving his place of residence according to the first instance judgment No. 01/2013/HSST dated January 9, 2013 of the People's Court of Nghe An province.
However, Nguyen Van Oai deliberately did not comply with the regulations on probation, did not accept the management and education of the local authorities, and frequently violated the probation obligations right from the first week of his residence. The authorities have repeatedly reminded and educated him, and issued administrative sanctions three times, but Nguyen Van Oai still deliberately did not comply with a defiant attitude, even fiercely resisting the officers on duty.
