Hue City Police collect DNA samples for relatives of unidentified martyrs

During this period, Hue City Police coordinated with the Department of Administrative Police for Social Order, the Ministry of Public Security and testing units to collect DNA samples for 12 relatives of martyrs who are heroic Vietnamese mothers and biological mothers of unidentified martyrs.

This is a meaningful activity in the work of "repaying gratitude", contributing to easing the pain, helping to open up opportunities for families to soon find the remains of martyrs, those who sacrificed their blood and bones for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland. Collecting DNA samples for relatives of martyrs is the first step in preparation, creating opportunities for families to soon find the remains of their loved ones.

It is known that currently, nationwide, there are still about 500,000 martyrs whose identities have not been determined, of which 200,000 remains have not been collected and 300,000 remains have been buried but lack information. In Hue city alone, there are over 3,000 martyrs whose identities have not been determined.

In the coming time, the police at all levels will continue to coordinate to collect information and DNA samples, adding them to the martyrs' gene bank.
