Thanh Nien reports that Hai, speaking at a press conference at the headquarters of the People's Committee of Ben Thanh Ward, District 1, said that a preliminary investigation found that the Vietnamese woman, identified as Le Thi Tuyet Mai, covered herself in gasoline and lit herself on fire while it was raining.
Though still alive by the time the fire was extinguished, she was dead within minute
According to Le Hieu Truong Hai, District 1's Vice Chairman, a 67-year-old woman from Binh Thanh District set her self on fire in front of Reunification Palace at 6am this morning to protest the Chinese oil rig that has encroached on Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone in the East Sea.
Police said they found a bag full of anti-China banners, which included the messages:
“Stay together to destroy China’s invading conspiracy”
“Full support to Vietnamese coast guards and fishermen”
She set herself on fire in the middle of the crowded city in front of one of the most, if not the most essential place in Ho Chi Minh City or SaiGon (Lana has mentioned SaiGon in several of her songs, including National Anthem, West Coast, Live or Die...) The thing between Vietnam and China is just stupid...
