Stake incident on grave in Hue: Removed and taken out

On the afternoon of August 28, the Management Board of Investment and Construction Project Area 1 (under the People's Committee of Hue City) issued a document informing about the incident and sent an apology to the people of Hue City after the incident where a grave behind the Thien Mu Pagoda relic was "suddenly" staked.

The stake was pulled out and taken out of the grave.

According to the Management Board of Investment and Construction Project Area 1, the board's staff has "planted grave tags" to count the number of affected graves in the area of ​​the project to preserve, restore and embellish the Hue Citadel system (phase 2) in the Thien Mu Pagoda area.

The above project was approved by the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue Province (now Hue City) in December 2024, including the relocation of residents and site clearance in 16 relic areas. In the Thien Mu Pagoda area alone, about 750 tombs were affected and need to be counted and relocated.

The stake on the grave was taken out.

On August 21, 2025, the Project Management Board issued a notice on the registration and declaration of graves, posted at the People's Committee of Kim Long Ward, with the time extended to August 29. During the review process, the unit organized the placement of grave cards to determine the location and number of graves.

On the afternoon of August 27, after receiving press reports about the graves of local people being staked, which was not in accordance with Hue culture, the board immediately checked and made adjustments. The Project Management Board admitted the negligence and lack of sensitivity during the implementation process and apologized to the people.
