Criticizing dog thieves before the people

(Baonghean) -Recently, people of Nghi Long commune - Nghi Loc district (Nghe An) temporarily put aside their farming work to attend the communal hall to review dog thieves organized by Nghi Loc district police.

When the 7 subjects were taken from the Nghi Loc District Police Detention Center to the Nghi Long Commune Hall, hundreds of people could not control their anger because they were so indignant at what the subjects had caused in the area for a long time.

Mr. Hoang - a resident said: "Recently, we have lost sleep and appetite because of dog thieves. Many days when the dogs are chained in the house, they brazenly come in with knives and blatantly come in to catch them...".

Nguyen Thi Hieu, nearly 80 years old, said: "Reviewing the children in front of the people like this is a necessary thing to educate other young people. In my opinion, the police and local authorities need to take stronger measures to make the children give up their wrongdoings, otherwise they are very likely to re-offend."

The hall also "heated up" when the leader of Nghi Long commune read the "indictment" of dog theft, chicken and goat theft, and motorbike theft of each subject in the past time. In particular, Nguyen Khac Giang (born in 1989, residing in hamlet 16, Nghi Long commune) - the ringleader, wanted subject) caused 14 cases of dog, motorbike, chicken theft... with more than 100 chickens, 10 dogs and 1 goat.

Then, the subjects took turns to self-criticize. The oldest subject in the group, Nguyen Dinh Bay (born in 1968, hamlet 16, Nghi Long commune), spoke intermittently: "What I did was against the law, against morality, and brought shame to my wife, children, siblings, grandparents, neighbors... From now on, I repent and ask for forgiveness from everyone." At this point, Bay seemed to realize his mistake, bowed his head and cried.

It was the turn of Hoang Van Dung (born in 1990, hamlet 14, Nghi Long) with a childish face, speaking unclearly: "I ask everyone to forgive me, I have wronged my grandparents, parents, siblings, neighbors... From now on, I promise to become an honest person to do business, to correct the mistakes I have made for so long...".

Speaking at the local representative's speech, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Dai said: "The act of stealing dogs makes people's lives unstable. The primary responsibility lies with the parents, and the most appropriate punishment is imprisonment. Through this incident, I hope that parents will be strict and not cover up serious crimes for their children."

Lieutenant Colonel Phan Dinh Suu - Head of Nghi Loc District Police, who chaired the Conference, said: "Bringing dog thieves to be criticized before the people is a form of education and deterrence... After the criticism, we continue to bring the subjects to temporary detention for investigation and prosecution. At the same time, we also request that people who have lost their dogs and have not reported them for a long time come to the police to report so that the Investigation Agency can clarify and then strictly handle these subjects. In the first phase, we criticized 14 subjects in Nghi Xa commune and this is the second time Nghi Loc Police brought dog thieves to be criticized before the people...".

The review of dog thieves received the consensus and support of all the people of Nghi Long commune. This is a form that needs to be replicated in Nghe An province.
