Another sign Nguoi Viet protests may end soon

In another sign that the protests in front of Nguoi Viet Daily News may soon end, the protesters have been asked to clear their materials off the ground where they’re located.

The protests have been ongoing continuously day-and-night since late January. The protesters have been laying out their paraphernalia all over the ground across the parking lot from Nguoi Viet. That location is the property of Dong Loi, a seafood wholesaler and distributor.

Until now, Dong Loi has been tolerant of the protesters, because Dong Loi has been using only their back door.

However, as told to the Bolsavik, Dong Loi has recently asked Ky Ngo to move his altar, flags and enlarged photographs of various democracy activists and Nguoi Viet personnel. The materials used to be on the ground and on the building’s wall (both of which belong to Dong Loi). Some of them are now moved and are placed on a truck (see photo), and others have been cleared away altogether.

Apparently, Dong Loi is remodeling their building and will start using the front side. (Interestingly enough, Dong Loi’s land is the only lot in the neighborhood that’s not zoned M – manufacturing.) Once that happens, it is likely that Ky Ngo and his mob squad will be asked politely to take their stuff somewhere else.
