Viet Tan has transformed into a new-style terrorist organization
Viet Tan has transformed into a new-style terrorist organization
4/2/17
Since the later last year,
Vietnamese government has declared Viet Tan or the Vietnam Reform Party, a terrorist organisation and warned people
to not be involved with the group. The government has long considered Viet Tan
a terrorist group, but this is the first time it has officially given it that
designation.
It’s not surprised due to
Viet Tan’s notorious violent activities. Viet Tan is accused of training
operatives and the government says the California-based organization instigates
violence. Viet Tan has a long history of inciting Vietnamese people at home,
especially workers, to protest against the Vietnamese State. In incidents of
the HD981 oil rig and the environmental disaster in some Vietnamese central
provinces, Viet Tan and its inside members incited people to violently oppose
the government, some protests even caused human and economic damages to the
country.
The group has conducted many aggressive
activities against the Party and State of Vietnam at home and abroad. People
must still remember about the footage “Terror in Little Saigon” of FRONTLINE, a
U.S. media station. The film depicts the true face of this group, a terrorist
group, which is ready to do anything for their wicked purposes, even killing
journalists who held opposite views against them. Many overseas Vietnamese have
recognized Viet Tan’s dark nature and called out to boycott this group in
overseas community. But, it is a pitiful that some foreign states and organizations
have ignored these truths to recognize Viet Tan as a normal political group and
even support them.
The
U.S. government has said it has seen no evidence that the group is engaged in
terrorism. The U.S. State
Department said Viet Tan is not listed as a terrorist entity under U.S. law.
“We would refer you to the Vietnamese government for more information on its
designation,” said Katina Adams, a spokeswoman for the department’s East Asia
bureau.
Yes, we all know that the
group was formed in 1982 by a vice admiral in the former U.S.-backed South
Vietnamese government, and has been described by
the United Nations as a “peaceful organization advocating for
democratic reform”. Viet Tan always claims its movements as non-violent
campaigns to overthrow the Vietnamese Communist regime and bring democracy to
Vietnamese.
However,
in reality, Viet Tan had trained
members in militant activities, to use weapons and explosives and sent armed
groups to Vietnam to carry out terrorist activities like kidnapping and murderring.
In the past several years, the group has arranged for operatives to sneak into
Vietnam to organise protests and instigate violence, but the plans were
thwarted by Vietnamese and Lao authorities. Viet Tan is still stubborn to send
members to Vietnam to stir up anti-government protests and unrest. Several Viet
Tan members from the United States and Australia have been brought to trial or
deported. It’s apparent that Viet Tan is a new-style terrorist organization,
they carry out terrorist activities in the name of spreading democracy, a kind
that the U.S. and Western nations try to feed those groups like Viet Tan and other anti-Vietnam organizations.
So let remind the U.S. about their war on
terrorism that they have propagandized around the world since the 11th
September attack that, at
the end of the day, groups like Viet Tan are terrorist, no more. The terrorist group’s plots cannot fool patriotic
citizens. Their schemes and acts go against the will and aspirations of
the entire Vietnamese nation. Therefore, anyone who joins,
propagandizes, instigates others to join, sponsors, receives sponsorship from
Viet Tan, participates in training courses arranged by Viet Tan, operates under
instructions of Viet Tan will be an accomplice in terrorism … and will be dealt
with in accordance with Vietnamese law./.

Viet Tan, or Vietnam Reform Party, had recruited and trained operatives to use weapons and explosives. Are they terrorists? Yes, they are.
The U.S. State Department said Viet Tan is not listed as a terrorist entity under U.S. law. Why? Because they want to use it as a tool to undermine an independant communist state.
Now we could see the true face of a political opportunist America!
The government has long been wary of Viet Tan’s presence and considered them a terrorist group before, labeling the group as “reactionary”, but now it's a tipping point to expose them.
We must punish those who go against the country's and people's interests, Viet Tan is totally one of them.
Reactionary!
A new style and more dangerous terrorist!
It's appearant that anyone who received sponsorship or training from Viet Tan, or who operated under its instructions, would be an accomplice in terrorism and dealt with in accordance with Vietnamese law.
