On 7 June 2018, Nguyen Van Dai and Brotherhood for Democracy colleague Le Thu Ha were released from prison and exiled to Germany. Nguyen Van Dai had served two months of a 15-year prison sentence at the time of his release, in addition to the 28 months Nguyen Van Dai had spent in detention following his arrest in December 2015.
On 5 April 2018, a Ha Noi court found Nguyễn Văn Đài, Trương Minh Đức, Nguyễn Trung Tôn, Nguyễn Bắc Truyển, Lê Thu Hà, and Pham Văn Trội guilty of “carrying out activities aimed at overthrowing the people’s administration.” On 10 and 11 April 2018, courts in Thai Binh and Nghe An found Nguyễn Văn Tuc and Trần Thị Xuân guilty of the same offence. Lengthy sentences were handed down by the court to the eight human rights defenders, who are all members of Brotherhood for Democracy.
On 30 July 2017, after over 19 months since his arrest, Vietnamese authorities charged human rights defender Nguyen Van Dai with “carrying out activities with the purpose of overthrowing the Peoples’ administration”. If convicted, he faces a prison sentence of between 12 and 20 years, life imprisonment or capital punishment.
