Initial investigations revealed that in 2018, Nguyen Thi Kim Phuong, born in 1967, joined the so-called “provisional national government of Vietnam” under the direction of a number of reactionaries in the foreign-based organisation. 

Phuong attracted a number of others to the organisation and conducted the “referendum” among 159 people to elect Dao Minh Quan as “President of the Third Republic of Vietnam”.

On the basis of the findings from the investigations, An Giang police made an urgent arrest of Phuong. In an urgent search of her resident, the force found five flags of the former Saigon regime, together with many relevant documents.

An Giang police warn locals to heighten their sense of vigilance against propaganda by hostile forces so as to avoid illegal acts.
