On September 29, the leader of Phuoc Son District Police, Quang Nam Province, said that Phuoc Thanh Commune Police, Phuoc Son District, had advised the Commune People's Committee Chairman to issue a decision to administratively fine Mr. Do TA (born in 1971; residing in Tam Ngoc Commune, Tam Ky City) and Mr. Ho TL (born in 1970; residing in Dong Phu Town, Que Son District, Quang Nam Province) VND 2.5 million/person.

Punish 2 people who threatened to beat reporters.

These are the two people who threatened, chased, threatened to beat, and insulted reporters while they were working at an illegal gold mining area in Phuoc Thanh commune. These two people have complied with the decision to punish them.

Previously, at noon on July 20, after receiving feedback, a reporter from Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper and his colleagues went to the 5A area (Phuoc Thanh commune) to record the illegal gold mining situation. Here, the reporter discovered many people setting up camps and bringing in machinery systems to illegally mine gold in a massive manner.

After digging for the ore, they brought it to the collection point and put it into a grinder, then used chemicals to soak and ferment it to select the gold. At the scene, the sound of the machine roared throughout the forest, the water from the gold sorting machine was turbid and thick, discharged directly into the environment and then flowed into the Dak Mat River - about 250 meters from the gold sorting site.

Standing on the hill looking down, you can easily see the difference in the color of the river water and the color of the water flowing down from the gold mining area.

It is worth mentioning that while the reporter was filming, some people from the camp came up and shouted. The reporter said he was a journalist, two men aggressively rushed up and shouted "Get lost! Get lost, get lost... I'll beat you to death!". Not stopping there, a man carrying a wooden tool, similar to a "giant" hammer, rushed in and assaulted him, continuously threatening to hit him, forcing the reporter to run away.

Mr. Ho Van Phuc, Chairman of Phuoc Thanh Commune People's Committee, said that the 5A area was previously licensed to a gold mining company. Later, "gold tycoon" Ngo Van Quang, Director of Phuoc Minh Company Limited, bought it and is planting acacia. Mr. Phuc confirmed that the gold mining license in this area had expired a long time ago, and the gold miners were doing it illegally.
