Authorities in Vietnam’s Central Highlands province of Gia Lai on Aug 15 officially reprimanded a police officer for using tear gas to spray on a local man, the Thanh Nien newspaper has reported.
Pham Thanh Trung, chief police officer of Ia Trok commune received the lightest discipline for spraying tear gas onto the face of Le Tien Phu, a local resident who refused to go to a police station to settle disputes in a local wedding party.
Authorities in Ia Pa district said Trung’s use of pepper spray was not in line with rules.
It’s wrong for Trung to use pepper spray while in plain clothes, said Nguyen Tat Lam, the district’s deputy police chief.
The disciplined officer will be under a 12-month probation period.
Power abuse among local policemen is rampant in Vietnam, especially at communal level, where policemen have limited training. However, Vietnam’s government has sought to give more power to police in communal level while many lawmakers and experts have objected the move.
