Around 9:00 am on August 22, a local police officer named Tu and two other security officers visited the apartment of Ms My, a pianist and friend of pianist Dang Vu Luong, and requested to see him. They then “invited” Luong to discuss some issues at the Office of Public Security of Quang An Ward.
At 17:00 pm, members of Green Trees gathered and arrived at the Office of Public Security’s Investigation Agency at Nguyen Gia Thieu street, Hoan Kiem District, Ha Noi, to demand an explanation on Luong’s detention and his release. During the confrontation, Nguyen Van Phuong and Trinh Hoang Thanh were arrested and beaten in a separate room.
After hours of struggle, Luong, Phuong and Thanh were all released at 10:30 pm on the same day.
