Post Court rejects agitator's appeal Reply with quote
HA NOI — The Court of Appeals of the Supreme People's Court upheld the verdict against Cu Huy Ha Vu for conducting propaganda against the State, after a hearing in Ha Noi yesterday.

The court reaffirmed Vu's sentence of seven years imprisonment, calculated from his arrest on November 5, 2010, plus a three-year probationary period under house arrest.

Four lawyers – Vuong Thi Thanh, Tran Dinh Trien, Tran Vu Hai and Tran Quoc Thuan – made arguments on behalf of Vu. After hearing the arguments of the procuracy and lawyers, the court found there were insufficient grounds to overturn Vu's conviction.

The hearing was chaired by Judge Nguyen Van Son and a representative from the Supreme People's Procuracy represented the prosecution in the appeal.

Family members, representatives from the foreign diplomatic corps, and a number of people from Vu's home district in Ha Noi attended the hearing, along with members of the domestic and foreign press.

In his trial before the Ha Noi People's Court on April 4, Vu , who was born in 1957 and resides at No 24 Dien Bien Phu Street in Ba Dinh District of Ha Noi, was found guilty of "conducting propaganda against the State of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam" pursuant to Article 88, Item 1, Point C, of the Penal Code.

The court found that, in 2009 and 2010, Vu posted writings and interviews on the internet and in foreign media agitating against the State. These writings and interviews distorted Party and State policies, defamed Government and State institutions and blackened the record of the Vietnamese people's war of resistance. — VNS
