Nguyen Van Dai was tried in absentia and sentenced to 17 years in prison for acts infringing national security, affecting Vietnam's international reputation, and opposing the state.
Nguyen Van Dai, currently a fugitive, is identified as using 9 social media accounts to post 9 self-created clips and two artificial intelligence (AI) clips containing content that "distorts, slanders the government, and opposes the state."
Nguyen Van Dai and Le Trung Khoa were issued arrest warrants by the Ministry of Public Security's Investigation Security Agency more than half a month after their indictment.
