A Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper
correspondent in Binh Thuan Province was hospitalized yesterday after being
zapped by a stun gun and beaten by two unknown men.
The
journalist, whose pen name is Nam Phuong, was attacked at about 11 pm Monday
when he left an eatery on Pham Van Dong Street, Binh Hung Ward, Phan Thiet
City, where he had entertained his colleagues on the occasion of his birthday.
Witnesses
said a tall and big man suddenly approached Phuong and then zapped him in the
neck. Phuong fell to the ground and was brutally beaten by the shooter and
another man.
The
attackers also shot at a bystander in the face and beat him when he rushed to
the scene to prevent the assault.
The
attackers then escaped on a motorbike. Locals called police and took Phuong to
a local hospital.
The two
unknown men had ambushed for Phuong for hours in front of the eatery, some
residents told police.
Phuong
Nam has been known as a self-motivated reporter who has written various
articles exposing the reality of illegal forest exploitation and uncovering
underworld activities related to a number of discos in Phan Thiet City, said
Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Nhieu, deputy head of the city Police.
