Security forces in Ho Chi Minh City on Jan 19 dispersed the gathering of local activists on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of the loss of Hoang Sa (Paracels) to China, detaining three activists, according to social networks.
In the morning of Tuesday, dozens of activists gathered in the city’s center to pay a memory to 74 soldiers of the Vietnam Republic Army who fought against the naval forces of the People’s Liberation Army of China but later killed by the invading forces.
The activists were outnumbered by security agents. The city’s authorities later sent workers to spray water the areas of Tran Hung Dao monument in the city, forcing the anti-China protestors to leave the areas.
Police also detained three activists named Hoang Dung, Dinh Nhat Uy and Huynh Thanh Phat.
Meanwhile, hundreds of activists in Hanoi also gathered in the city’s center to hold a commemoration for the fallen soldiers killed by Chinese in Hoang Sa 42 years ago. The activists hang banners to condemn China’s invasion and demand Beijing to return Hoang Sa as well as a number of islands and reefs for Vietnam.
Hanoi’s authorities deployed a large number of police officers to the area, however, they did not make any trouble for the commemoration.
The commemoration of Hoang Sa fallen martyrs was made just one day of the 12th National Congress of the ruling Communist Party of Vietnam which prioritizes comradeship with the ruling Chinese communists.
The security in Vietnam has been tightened in weeks before the congress which takes every five years to decide the development course for the nation and elect the new leadership, including the communist party’s general secretary.
Last week, Vietnam’s security forces held a live drill in the capital city with deployment of helicopters and tanks to deal with coup and mass demonstration in a bid to ensure security for the party’s event.
Meanwhile, China has continued to develop civil and military facilities in Hoang Sa and the invaded part of Truong Sa (Spratlys) in a bid to solidify its illegal claim of over 90% of the resource-rich sea.
Vietnam has peacefully administered Hoang Sa and Truong Sa before the 17th century.
