The group of students, many of whom were shirtless, walked from Gia Minh center to Highway 10 toward Nui Deo town and toward Hai Phong city center. Some extremists vandalized houses on the side of the road near the market gate of Luu Kiem commune, Thuy Nguyen district.

City police leaders mobilized forces to block off areas. All households and businesses in Thuy Nguyen district were ordered to close to prevent this group from causing trouble.

Mobile police intercepted a group of drug rehabilitation students in Nui Deo town.

By 6:30 p.m., the group of drug rehabilitation students had returned to Nui Deo town. Afterwards, many were picked up by their families, some were taken back to the center, and about 100 students continued their journey to the city.

At 8:00 p.m., the group of drug rehabilitation students crossed Binh Bridge to enter the center of Hai Phong City, but the authorities blocked them and directed them to follow Hung Vuong Street to Highway 5.

Before Tet, many families brought their relatives and children to the center's gate to protest the new document requiring students to undergo compulsory drug rehabilitation for 4 years, instead of 2 years as before.

Half a month ago, at Gia Minh center, more than 10 students fought and then escaped to the mountains to go on a hunger strike.
