On May 14, the District 12 People’s Court (Ho Chi Minh City) opened a trial and sentenced the accused Nguyen Thi Lep (born 1968, Binh Phuoc) to 5 years in prison, Nguyen Thi Giang (born 1960), Lep’s older sister) 4 years in prison and Dong Duc Kien (born 1971 in Binh Phuoc) 3 years and 6 months in prison for causing public disorder.
The trial is chaired by Judge Ma Van Nhat. The Court also summons many people to attend the trial as people with related rights and obligations.
According to the indictment, Lep, Giang said the land currently under construction for the District 12 Cultural, Physical and Sports Park project located in Hiep Thanh Ward, District 12 is owned by his family.
They both believe that this land originated from the biological father of Giang and Lev who had claimed and cultivated it from 1985-1994. When he died, Mr. Pham Van Chau continued cultivating. However, they both have no proof.
During the appeal process, due to extremist acts, Lev was administratively sanctioned for disorderly conduct at the agency’s office in February 2016. Kien was administratively sanctioned for disorderly conduct in public places in May 2017.
On August 9, 2017, Mr. Chau died in the hospital due to a medical condition. Sisters Lep and Giang did not inform Mr. Chau’s relatives, but also Kien and a few others who brought Mr. Chau’s coffin to the area of land under construction.
The next morning, the three of them made phone calls, prompting ignorant people from many places to gather, waiting at the construction site.
Sisters Lep and Giang rented a car to carry the coffin to lobby and claim illegal rights. This practice of the three hinders traffic and seriously affects local peace and order.
According to the prosecution agency, Lev is the lead role, ordering Giang to call Kien from Hanoi, call others to focus, exhort the crowd to break through the doors of the project. Kien and Giang are complicit in helping Lev.
In this case, the prosecutorial agency identifies many subjects involved in the disturbance, but the participation is not sufficiently active to the extent of criminal management.
Upon hearing the representative of the Prosecutor’s Office announcing the accusation, the defendant Lev continued to cry and the President reminded the defendant to calm down, but the defendant continued to cry. To ensure that the trial continued, the Panel asked the police to take the accused to the isolation room.
Defendant Kien did not acknowledge the disorderly conduct, but admitted that his personal image was recorded on video. Defendant Nguyễn Thị Lép has twisted but confirmed that he has engaged in manipulating and provoking many people to cause public disorder.
Defendant Jiang confessed, it was all done by defendant Le. As Mr. Chau’s body slowly moved from Long An to District 12, there were only Giang and Lép. Defendant Jiang yelled at the request to open the construction workers’ door, and when the police stopped him, he was pushed by Jiang.
Ms. Pham Thi Bach Trang (Mr. Chau’s daughter) testified, Mr. Chau lost the information and did not agree that the accused Lep and Giang took Chau’s body to cause trouble.
The defendants ‘defense attorney said the defendants’ behavior was not yet at the criminal handling level, so it was suggested that the Panel should return the files for further investigation.
After deliberation, the Panel decided that, based on the case record and the events at the trial, there were sufficient grounds to determine the prosecution to prosecute the accused as the correct person, the correct offender, and injustice.
In this case, the defendant Lev played the leading role, the one who directly initiated and carried out the acts, the accused defendants Giang and Kien were complicit in helping him.
The acts of the accused are dangerous for society and organized crime. Lev and Kien were sanctioned for administrative violations of public disorder, but continued to commit crimes. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly punish and defend the accused.
