REQUEST
FOR THE RESOLUTION OF ACCUSATIONS AGAINST GENERAL SECRETARY NGUYỄN PHÚ TRỌNG
Hanoi,
7 September 2025
Dear
Sirs and Madams,
On
25 September 2023, I submitted a petition for cassation review of Court
Judgment No. 325/2022/HS-ST (dated 30 August 2022 by the Hanoi Municipal
People’s Court) to the Hanoi-based High People’s Court, Vietnam.
On 2 January 2024, I visited the High People’s Court to inquire about the petition. The receptionist handed me “Notice of Petition Transfer” No. 1994/PC-TACC dated 25 September 2023, which informed me that my petition had been transferred to the Supreme People’s Court for review and resolution under its jurisdiction.
After
that, I approached the Supreme People’s Court three times (on 2 January 2024,
21 February 2024, and 10 July 2024) to follow up on my petition. Each time,
after checking the internal network, the receptionists gave me the same answer:
there was no information whatsoever about my case.
Instead
of waiting for the Supreme People’s Court to accept my case as indicated in the
“Notice of Petition Transfer” from the Hanoi-based High People’s Court, on 11
July 2024, I submitted the petition directly to the Supreme People’s Court.
On
14 August 2024, I went to the Supreme People’s Court again to inquire. The
receptionist informed me that my petition had been accepted on 2 August and was
under review.
Subsequently,
I visited the Court five more times (on 4 September 2024, 27 September
2024, 21 October 2024, 3 March 2025, and 4 September 2025). On each
occasion, the receptionists gave me the same reply: the Supreme People’s Court
“is still reviewing and resolving” the case.

SUPREME PEOPLE’S COURT ANSWER MY PETITION”
My
case concerns accusations against Nguyễn Phú Trọng, General Secretary of the
Communist Party of Vietnam, of “High treason” under Article 108 of the Penal
Code, and against Hoàng Trung Hải, a Politburo Member and Hanoi Party Committee
Secretary, of espionage under Article 110 of the Penal Code. (Please see the
attached file How Law Enforcement Agencies Violated the Law in the Case of
Lê Anh Hùng for more details.)
“High
treason” is the most serious crime a national leader can commit, given their
profound influence on the nation’s course. As the saying goes: “A fish rots
from the head down.” I therefore request that the relevant authorities
uphold the rule of law by addressing these accusations in accordance with legal
procedures and restoring justice to the wrongfully convicted victim. Those who
commit especially grave crimes against their own country must be exposed and
brought to justice; even after death, they must remain condemned and despised.
History must be written truthfully; justice must prevail; only then can our
country avoid similar catastrophes in the future.
I
earnestly call upon the Vietnamese leadership to promote institutional
reforms—first by integrating the Party’s and the State’s apparatuses, gradually
“decoupling from China,” and pivoting strategically toward the liberal,
democratic, and civilized world.
Please
raise your voices to demand that the Vietnamese authorities resolve my
accusations in accordance with the law.
Yours
sincerely,
Lê Anh Hùng
