The fragile line between public outrage and defamation - perspective from the Nha Nam case

Bình An |

Immediately after the conclusion of Hanoi Police, a wave of calls for boycotting Nha Nam continued to be called for, despite the conclusions from the investigation agency.

After more than a year, the case between Mr. Dang Hoang Giang and Ms. T.H with complaints related to Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh and Nha Nam Company has been concluded by Hanoi Police.

Accordingly, Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh's actions did not constitute a crime, and Cau Giay District Police did not assign to resolve Ms. T.H.'s complaint.

Regarding Mr. Dang Hoang Giang, Hanoi Police proposed to handle administrative cases and revoke his labor license for untrue articles related to Nha Nam.

When everyone wants to blame others

There have been conclusions from the investigation agency, but on social networking forums, a wave of calls for boycotting Nha Nam, insulting Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh and his family is still being praised with attacking words.

Everyone is "scholarly", everyone is like a "court" that is "torturing" Nha Nam, Mr. Nguyen Nhat Anh and his whole family and relatives, even though they are not related and the self-proclaimed "court" has no evidence, cannot give any specific details, even, it is not clear what really happened in Nha Nam.

Talking to Lao Dong reporter about the Nha Nam incident, Master Le Dinh Quyet - lecturer at Hanoi Law University, senior advisor at LVI Law Firm, said that cases related to sexual harassment must have authentic and specific evidence.

With cases without clear evidence, it will be difficult to determine signs of crime. The authorities will investigate many objective, subjective factors, errors, violations... In case there is not enough basis, the authorities cannot prosecute and convict.

At that time, the whistleblower or related people who provide one-sided information can cause counterproduction and be sued back for affecting the honor and reputation of others" - Master Le Dinh Quyet said.

To report, accuse, or accuse others of sexual harassment, there must be evidence and specific evidence, such as emails, recordings, images, video recordings, threatening messages, etc.

When there is no evidence or clear evidence, writing articles accusing others of sexual harassment and posting them publicly on social media platforms will leave serious and serious consequences for the accused and their families.

Analysts say that when someone feels hurt, feels not good, feels scared - it is not necessary, it is evidence to blame others.

Even if someone apologizes, admits guilt, or even confesses - without enough evidence - they cannot be convicted before the law.

The principle of "preferring more evidence than the court's burden" in the process of charging and trial is strictly regulated in many provisions in the Criminal Procedure Code.

Master witness is more important than the burden is a way for the law to avoid convincing others in the direction of interpretation and emotion.

anyone can become a victim

Mr. Dang Hoang Giang once wrote Sorrow does not make us invincible, this article was published in the book of the same name published by Nha Nam himself.

" outragment does not make us innocent" clearly analyzes the crowd psychology, the manipulation and leadership of the crowd before an incident.

Mr. Dang Hoang Giang analyzed that the crowd is often " interested" in bad and negative things rather than positive and good information.

When we criticize or complain about something, we prove to others and to ourselves that we are not indifferent or indifferent, but still care and worry, speaking out harshly about criticizing is our way of expressing, we are not united, we do not stand side by side with bad people.

Mr. Dang Hoang Giang showed that he understands crowd psychology very well, and how to draw the crowd into a story containing negative information.

With a case related to sexual harassment, it is often easy to arouse the " spirit of harmony" of the crowd on social networks.

The majority defended the person considered a "victim" to see themselves as... heroes, standing on the side of the "weak" against injustice and the dark side of society.

Thewagon Effect is a social phenomenon that is spreading due to the explosion of social media platforms.

The crowd effect can be expressed in many forms, including "copying the behavior of others, unconsciously accepting the decisions of those around them".

The power of crowd syndrome on social networks has long been likened to a big wave, with the ability to manipulate, lead, and navigate public opinion, which can also take everything to the top and sink anyone to the bottom, with no way out.

There, everyone has the right to feel guilty, and anyone can become a victim.

The cruelty of the crowd effect lies in the fact that no one can explain to themselves. No one can talk about reason or law. Because the crowd often just wants to believe what they want to believe.

As Mr. Dang Hoang Giang wrote in the book, frustration does not make us defenseless.

It is impossible to be innocent when publicly accusing others without providing clear and specific evidence.

In essence, that move was also a way for him to destroy a life, another fate.
