According to the indictment announced by the
provincial People’s Procuracy, Quynh opened a Facebook account in 2010 named “Me
Nam” (Mother Mushroom) which was later renamed “Me Nam Gau”, “Nguyen Nhu Quynh”
and “Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh”.
From 2012 to October 2016, she used her Facebook
page to draft, post and share articles with false and groundless contents that
distorted, criticised and defamed the guidelines and policies of the Communist
Party of Vietnam and law of the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,
falsified Vietnam’s revolutionary history and split the national unity bloc.
Those articles gave one-sided and superficial
views that stirred up public worries and affected people’s trust in the Party’s
leadership and the State’s governance and management of society, and incited
people to resist the State, thus harming national security and social order and
safety, the indictment said.
From 2013 to 2016, Quynh also gave interviews to
foreign press and media outlets, in which she distorted the domestic situation
in many fields, from history, economy, politics, defence, diplomacy, law to
democracy and human rights.
In 2014, she collected information from online
newspapers about 31 people who reportedly died after working with police and
then created a file named “Stop police killing civilians” to post on her
Facebook page.
However, Quynh did not thoroughly learn about
the official information about the outcomes of the investigations and
settlement of these cases provided by authorised agencies. Instead, she
intentionally distorted the truth with the aim of making readers wrongly
understand the nature of the issues, insulted and lowered the prestige of the
people’s public security force, and blighted the relationship between the
people and the public security force.
Quynh also organised or took part in activities
and events which aimed to incite people to oppose the State, according to the
indictment.
Representatives of the provincial People’s
Procuracy and the judge said during the trial, that Quynh maintained her
anti-State attitude and showed no repentance.-VNA
