The extremists stood in the middle of the road and used objects such as trees, bricks and stones to block vehicles on National Highway 1A, causing serious traffic jams and obstructions. The actions of Nguyen Dinh Thuc and some extremists caused public disorder, obstructed traffic and violated the law.
Currently, the authorities are conducting propaganda, asking people not to listen to Nguyen Dinh Thuc's incitement and provocation, not to participate in obstructing traffic, and causing disorder in the area.

Previously, Nguyen Dinh Thuc had repeatedly incited and led extremists to disturb public order. For example, on February 14, 2017, taking advantage of the lawsuit against Formosa, Nguyen Dinh Thuc preached and incited a number of parishioners to carry banners and flags, causing traffic disorder on National Highway 1A, destroying property, and resisting law enforcement officers. On the afternoon of April 24, 2017, Nguyen Dinh Thuc incited and, along with a number of parishioners, went to the Quynh Luu District Police Headquarters to demand the return of two sacks of goods of unknown origin that the authorities were temporarily holding for investigation and handling.
Nguyen Dinh Thuc's repeated violations of the law are condemnable and must be strictly handled according to the law.
On May 11, 2017, Hoang Duc Binh was prosecuted by the Nghe An Police Investigation Agency for the crimes of "Resisting a person performing official duties"; "Abusing democratic freedoms to infringe upon the interests of the State, the legitimate rights and interests of organizations and citizens", as stipulated in Articles 257 and 258 of the Penal Code. On May 13, 2017, the Nghe An Provincial People's Procuracy issued a decision approving the arrest warrant of the Nghe An Police Investigation Agency for Hoang Duc Binh. At noon on May 15, Hoang Duc Binh was temporarily detained by the Investigation Police Agency of Nghe An Province Police. |
