According to senior investigator, based on the bail request from Que’s family and taking into consideration the 69-year-old man’s health and his cooperation, police deem it unnecessary to detain him further.

 
Que was allowed to go home at 18: 45 on February 27.

 

However, he has to be present at the police station to answer certain questions concerning his illegal activities whenever police issue an order.

 

Earlier on February 26, police caught Que red-handed storing and distributing documents calling for the overthrowing of the people’s government.

 

According to Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper, Que was born in Hanoi in 1942 and used to study in Belgium and the UK.

 

He later worked at Cho Ray Hospital – the most famous hospital in southern Vietnam and lectured at the Saigon Medical University before 1975.

 

According to Nguoi Lao Dong, from December 1978 to February 1988, Que was detained for heading the “Mat Tran Dan Toc Tien Bo”.

 

After he was released, Que continued writing and drafting many documents with contents propagandizing against the socialist regime.

 

In February 1990, Que founded the organization “Cao trao nhan ban” (humanism movement) and called for the overthrowing of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Nguoi Lao Dong reported.

 

According to Nguoi Lao Dong, he called on a multi-party system, a free election with supervision from the UN. With such activities, on June 14, 1990, Que was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He was released on state amnesty in 1998, Nguoi Lao Dong reported.

 

After being released, Que continued writing anti-government documents to send to organizations overseas including the “Cao trao nhan dan” headed by Que’s brother Nguyen Quoc Quan in the US.

 

In 2004, Que was sentenced to 30 months in jail after being caught red-handed transporting anti-state documents abroad. But he was released after six months on a second amnesty from the government.

 

After prison, Que was featured in several foreign media interviews in which he distorted Vietnam’s political situation.

 

Moreover, in collaboration with his brother, Que called on some US politicians to promote the movement “9 diem dan chu hoa tai Viet Nam” (9 points towards democratization in Vietnam).
