According to Mr. Hoang Anh, once when he passed through Hamlet 6, Tan Thanh Dong Commune, he saw that the 100m long, 3m wide road leading to some households' houses was seriously degraded, so he spent 200 million VND to build a road to help the people.
Before doing it, some households living here also informed the local authorities. On May 4, 2018, the work was carried out. But while the asphalt road was being paved, some officials of Tan Thanh Dong commune came to stop the work and confiscated the machinery.
When Mr. Hoang Anh arrived, he was chased, restrained, handcuffed and taken to the headquarters for many hours of detention by Tan Thanh Dong commune officials.
Mr. Hoang Anh added that all road construction machinery that day was confiscated by the Tan Thanh Dong commune authorities without a clear reason and without a record being made.
