Four days ago, Ms. Phan Thi Nghia was prosecuted by Vinh City Police for the crime of Humiliating Others but was released on bail.
Lawyer Nguyen Trong Hai - Head of Trong Hai and Associates Law Firm said that for this crime, according to regulations, if there is an agreement and reconciliation between the two parties, and the victim then withdraws the request for prosecution, the police investigation agency can issue a decision to suspend the investigation and suspend the prosecution of the accused.
“In the event that the victim has requested prosecution but then withdraws the request before the opening date of the first instance trial, the case must be suspended,” said lawyer Hai, adding that the authority to decide whether to suspend or not still depends on the assessment of Vinh City Police. “If the police investigation agency believes that this behavior is serious, it may not be suspended.”
Vinh City Police have not yet made a statement about this action of the victim.

Earlier, on the morning of March 22, claiming that a female student who was interning at the Vietnam-Laos Kindergarten had beaten her child, Ms. Nghia stormed into the school, grabbed her hair and beat Ms. H. repeatedly. Although many witnesses tried to stop her, giving the reason that "the teacher is pregnant", Ms. Nghia still loudly said "even pregnant, still beat".
The female parent then forced the student teacher to kneel down and apologize. Afraid of being beaten again, Ms. H. had to kneel down and apologize to the child. Afterwards, Ms. H. was taken to the Nghe An Province Reproductive Health Care Center in a state of threatened miscarriage.
On April 2, Ms. Nghia went to the victim’s house to read the apology letter and it was accepted. The girl’s family said that there was an “agreement” between the two sides, hoping that the parent would follow through on what was promised.
