Vietnam has arrested nine men said to be members of a “politically reactionary” organisation that was aiming to overthrow the country’s communist government, state media said yesterday.
Raids on a secret rural command centre in Da Bia in recent days led to the arrest of the group and its leader Phan Van Thu, alias Tran Cong, according to a senior police officer quoted by the VNA news agency.
The men are being probed for “abusing freedom and democratic rights to violate state interests”, Pham Van Hoa, director of central Phu Yen province police department, told reporters.
Documents, 19 detonators, 10 walkie talkies, two laptops, a camera and a video camera and tens of thousands of dollars and Vietnamese Dong were confiscated, he added.
