The subject called to mentally terrorize and threaten the life of journalist Le Tan Loc, even threatening to "deal with" the journalist's two young children.
On the afternoon of May 3, the Editorial Board of Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper sent an urgent dispatch requesting the Nha Trang City Police (Khanh Hoa) and Tuy Hoa City Police (Phu Yen) to take measures to protect journalist Le Tan Loc and his family, who are being mentally terrorized and threatened.
According to the report of Mr. Le Tan Loc - reporter of Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper, residing in the South Central region, on May 3, a woman and a man continuously used phone numbers 0905032... and 0961933... to loudly insult, terrorize, and threaten the lives of Mr. Le Tan Loc and his family. The man even declared that he would "deal with" the two children of reporter Le Tan Loc.
Previously, on April 26, Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper published an article: "The court tried the case "super fast" after 15 days of receiving the case" by a contributor. Before publishing this article, the Editorial Board of Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper directed reporter Le Tan Loc to contact Mr. Vo Quoc Tuan - Chief Justice of Nha Trang City People's Court to learn about some contents related to the procedural order of the case.
It is known that the above article mentioned a civil lawsuit over a property loan contract dispute between Mr. Mai Thanh Tung, residing at 16/2 Nguyen Chanh, Loc Tho Ward, Nha Trang City and Thien Hai Phu Company Limited, whose transaction office is in Vinh Hai Ward, Nha Trang City. One of the people with related rights and obligations in this lawsuit is Ms. Chu Thi Ngoc Hien, residing at 21 Tan An, Phuoc Hai Ward.
In the calls to reporter Le Tan Loc's phone, the woman and the man clearly stated that Mr. Vo Quoc Tuan - Chief Justice of Nha Trang City People's Court had told them that reporter Le Tan Loc was the one who contacted him to collect information and write articles...
Because the subject who made phone calls to terrorize and threaten the life of reporter Le Tan Loc is living in Nha Trang City, and the family of reporter Le Tan Loc is living in Tuy Hoa City, the Editorial Board of Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper sent a document to the Nha Trang City Police and Tuy Hoa City Police.
Also on the afternoon of May 3, Chairman of Phu Yen Provincial People's Committee - Mr. Pham Dai Duong directed Phu Yen Provincial Police to take measures to protect journalist Le Tan Loc and his family.
