Previously, as reported by Ho Chi Minh City Law, on the afternoon of September 18, the interdisciplinary delegation of the Tam Binh Ward People's Committee administratively inspected the MU Coffee Shop (Tam Binh Ward, Thu Duc District). When checking the documents of two girls, Nguyen Thi Tuyet Nhung (21 years old, from Tien Giang) and Le Thi Kieu (16 years old, from Dong Nai), the two were unable to present them so they were taken to the headquarters for clarification.
About an hour later, the two girls were taken to a social welfare center in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City, because they could not produce documents or information about their temporary or permanent residence. Nine days later, after the press reported the incident, both were released.
