Tran Hoang Phuc‘s mother, Huynh Thi Ut, reported that Phuc was summoned again on July 30, but this time by the Office of Prosecution (Procuracy) in Ho Chi Minh City instead of by the Tan Binh Police. On June 29, 2017, Phuc, a student activist, was detained in Hanoi by a group of non-uniformed officers and taken to a police station for questioning for hours before he was taken back to his rental home and read a warrant of arrest. Phuc was later sentenced to six years in prison based on Article 88 (anti-state propaganda) and was released in June 2023. Project88 is monitoring the situation and will update with the latest information.
