Vietnam Police Stop Protests Over Massive Fish Deaths

Police in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi broke a weekend protest by dozens of young people who were trying to highlight what they said was a slow, irresponsible government response to a mass kill-off of fish.

Sunday’s aborted protests were inspired by the washing ashore in April of tens of thousands of fish along the central coast of Vietnam. Government experts have variously cited "red tide” or other factors, but many Vietnamese blame a huge steel plant run by Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation, a subsidiary of Formosa Plastics Corporation of Taiwan.

“Thirty youths went to the center of Hanoi for the rally but they could not gather at the Grand Theater or the fountain,” blogger Nguyen Xuan Dien told RFA’s Vietnamese Service by telephone from Hanoi.

“They somehow managed to gather together and walked without chanting,” he added.

“They were all forced into a vehicle and taken to Long Bien district police station where they keep protesters,” said Dien.

The Associated Press quoted a protester as saying the group members were held for several hours and then released without charge.

Dien echoed widespread complaints about the government’s handling of the mass fish deaths, which have decimated fishing and tourism in the Southeast Asian country.

“It’s been 60 days since the mass fish deaths in the central region but they have not announced the result. Many issues have pointed to their irresponsibility towards the people, the environment and the country’s natural resources,” he told RFA.
