Previously, at 10:30 a.m. on May 15, 2017, the Nghe An police investigation agency temporarily detained the reactionary Hoang Duc Binh according to Decision No. 01 dated May 11, 2017. Immediately after the authorities temporarily detained Hoang Duc Binh, priest Nguyen Dinh Thuc called to incite extremists to obstruct traffic on National Highway 1A through Dien An commune, Dien Chau district to demand the "release of the arrested person".

Faced with the above situation, at around 1:00 p.m. the same day, Mr. Le Viet Dung - Secretary of Dien Chau District Youth Union arrived at the above location to grasp the situation and persuade the extremists not to block the road or obstruct traffic, but was chased, beaten, and captured by these people, injuring Mr. Dung.

Faced with the wrongdoings of those extremists, priest Nguyen Dinh Thuc not only did not stop them but also ordered the checking of their identity cards, forcing Mr. Dung to write a report, sign it and point it with his finger with completely false content that he only fell and was not beaten and injured.

At 3:00 p.m. the same day, while Mr. Phan Ba ​​Thoai - Secretary of the Youth Union of Dien Thanh Commune, Dien Chau District was mobilizing people who were causing trouble on National Highway 1A to leave, he was also illegally detained by extremists with very brutal behavior. "Two young men came and grabbed me by the armpits and dragged me away, not allowing me to say anything," Mr. Thoai recounted.

After that, Phan Ba ​​Thoai was also detained with Le Viet Dung and two others. It was not until about 3:45 p.m. the same day that Father Nguyen Dinh Thuc released Le Viet Dung and Phan Ba ​​Thoai along with two others who had been illegally detained by the extremists.
