On October 14, Ngu Thuy Commune Police (Le Thuy District, Quang Binh) said that the unit had summoned 7 people to work because of their involvement in the case of Mr. Ngo Van Lu (55 years old, residing in Ngu Thuy Commune) who was beaten and hospitalized after posting a poem on Facebook.

According to Ngu Thuy Commune Police, these people initially admitted to beating Mr. Lu.

Previously, Mr. Ngo Van Luyt (son of Mr. Ngo Van Lu) sent a complaint to Le Thuy District Police about his father being assaulted by a group of people who broke into his house.

According to Mr. Luyt, on the evening of October 10, his parents were having dinner with their grandchildren when suddenly a group of strangers, riding in two cars, broke into the house and assaulted them.

This group of people beat Mr. Ngo Van Lu until he fell unconscious on the spot, while Mr. Lu's wife promptly ran out to the yard to call for help. At this time, the group of people dragged Mr. Lu's legs out to the front porch and continued to beat him.

When they saw the neighbors running over, these people stopped, then got in their car and left the scene.

According to Mr. Luyt, the reason may be related to the fact that Mr. Luy had previously written a satirical poem that he himself wrote and posted on his personal Facebook, the content of which mentioned the volleyball tournament organized by the Farmers' Association of Ngu Thuy commune on October 9 and 10.
