PV:Regarding the information about people blocking the shuttle bus to pick up workers to work at Nam Cam Industrial Park, what is your opinion on this issue?

Lawyer Nguyen Trong Hai:The act of blocking a car carrying workers by some households in Nghi Xa commune, Nghi Loc district is a violation of the law, showing signs of constituting the “Crime of disturbing public order” (Article 245 of the Penal Code). This act directly violates public order, violates civilized lifestyle, rules of life, and affects normal activities in public places.

Attorney Nguyen Trong Hai

These are condemnable acts and the competent authorities and local authorities must prevent and strictly handle them to ensure social order and safety, especially those who threaten and harm the health of drivers and workers (using helmets to hit the head and hands) as reported by the press. For households with the above-mentioned acts, they need to be properly aware of their actions, clearly distinguish between rights and obligations, responsibilities to society and respect the democratic freedoms of citizens, and must not do anything that is prohibited by law.
