Handling the subject spreading false information about the 'National Assembly Chairman's motorcade'

On the morning of October 31, Colonel Pham Van Ngot - Chief of Staff of Ben Tre Provincial Police said that the police agency has identified the person who spread false information about the content of the clip circulated on social networks about the "convoy of the National Assembly Chairman".

“This person is named Ng.Ch.K, residing in Chau Binh commune, Giong Trom district. K is a freelancer and has spread false information about the National Assembly Chairman's motorcade. The professional force of the Provincial Police, directly the Internal Political Security Department (PA83) is verifying and inviting the person who spread false information, causing a stir on the internet, to work with him to handle according to the law.

Currently, this person's Facebook status has changed and there is an apology for the false information," said Colonel Pham Van Ngot.

Previously, on social networks Facebook and Youtube, a clip appeared with images of a convoy of dozens of cars running and captioned that this was the convoy of National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan visiting Ben Tre. This clip quickly spread on a number of social networking sites such as Facebook, Youtube... causing a storm on the internet.

Images of the convoy participating in the defense exercise were falsely attributed to "the convoy of the National Assembly Chairman".

The People's Committee of Ben Tre province affirmed that the above information is not true, completely fabricated and distorted. Because on October 28, National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan was chairing the 2nd session of the 14th National Assembly in Hanoi.

The image of the convoy in the clip circulating on social networks is actually a convoy of local authorities and functional units of Ben Tre province participating in the 2016 defense exercise. After attending the defense area exercise in Ben Tre city and Giong Trom district, the delegation moved to Binh Dai district to participate in the live-fire exercise at the Ba Lai dam sluice area and Thua Duc beach.

Mr. Cao Van Trong, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee - Chairman of the People's Committee of Ben Tre province, a delegate of the 14th National Assembly, also confirmed the above information. Mr. Trong said that on October 27 and 28, National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan chaired the National Assembly meeting all day, and he himself attended the National Assembly meeting under the direction of National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan.
