Most of 39 UK truck victims were likely from Vietnam: priest
6 MIN READ
YEN THANH, Vietnam (Reuters) - Most of the 39 people found dead in the back
of a truck near London were likely from Vietnam, a local priest from the
rural, rice-growing community where many of the victims are believed to have
come from said on Saturday.
The bodies were discovered on Wednesday after emergency services were alerted
to people in a truck container on an industrial site in Grays, about 32 km
(20 miles) east of central London.
Police said initially they believed the dead were Chinese but Beijing said
the nationalities had not yet been confirmed. Chinese and Vietnamese
officials are now both working closely with British police, the two countries
’ embassies have said.
Father Anthony Dang Huu Nam, a Catholic priest in the remote town of Yen
Thanh in northern-central Vietnam’s Nghe An province, 300 km (180 miles)
south of Hanoi, told Reuters he was liaising with family members of the
victims.
“The whole district is covered in sorrow,” Nam said, as prayers for the
dead rang out over loudspeakers throughout the misty, rain-soaked town on
Saturday. “This is a catastrophe for our community.”
On Saturday evening, Nam led around 500 worshippers in prayers for the dead
as they held lit candles in the modest, white-walled church in Yen Thanh.
“We are here to pray for justice and peace, and for the victims of society.
We pray for the 39 people who lost their lives on the way to the UK. They are
people coming from central Vietnam, our land,” Nam said.
Nam said families told him they knew relatives were traveling to Britain at
the time the container truck was been traveling, and had been unable to
contact their loved ones.
Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc ordered government officials to
help establish the identities of the victims and look into cases of
Vietnamese citizens sent abroad illegally.
British police declined to elaborate on why they first identified the dead as
Chinese, and said they would not give more details about the identities or
nationalities of the victims until the formal identification process had
taken place.
‘BEAUTIFUL DAY’
In Yen Thanh, Nghe An province, dozens of worried relatives of 19-year-old
Bui Thi Nhung gathered in the family’s small courtyard home where her
worried mother has been unable to rise from her bed.
“She said she was in France and on the way to the UK, where she has friends
and relatives,” said Nhung’s cousin, Hoang Thi Linh.
“We are waiting and hoping it’s not her among the victims, but it’s very
likely. We pray for her every day. There were two people from my village
traveling in that group”.
In comments under a photo uploaded to Nhung’s Facebook account on Monday,
two days before the doomed truck was discovered, one friend asked how her
journey was going.
“Not good,” Nhung replied. “Almost spring,” she said, using a term in
Vietnamese meaning she had almost reached her destination.
Other photos on her account show her sightseeing in Brussels on Oct. 18.
“Such a beautiful day,” Nhung posted.
Another person who may have died is Nguyen Dinh Tu, who had been working
illegally in Romania, and Germany, where he lost his job.
A few months ago, he asked his wife Hoang Thi Thuong to help him raise 11,000
pounds ($14,000) to cover the cost of an illicit trip from Germany to the
United Kingdom.
“I lost contact with him on October 21,” Thuong told Reuters. “I have a
big debt to pay, no hope, and no energy to do anything”.
Tu’s father said relatives in the United Kingdom had told him that Tu was
inside the truck, and had been planning to pick him up.
“They were supposed to pick him up at the drop-off point but they called and
said Tu was in that truck,” Tu’s father, Nguyen Dinh Sat, told Reuters.
“I haven’t heard anything from my son”.
PARENTS ‘CAN’T BREATHE’
How the victims came to be in the truck is not yet known.
Police are questioning the 25-year-old driver of the truck on suspicion of
murder. On Friday, police said they had also arrested three other people
suspected of conspiracy to traffic people and manslaughter.
Some 70% of Vietnamese trafficking cases in the United Kingdom between
2009-2016 were for labor exploitation, including cannabis production and work
in nail bars, according to a British government report last year.
越南（路透社）-周六，在伦敦附近的一辆卡车后面发现的39名死者中，大部分可能来自
越南，当地一名牧师来自农村水稻种植社区，据信许多受害者来自该社区。
周三，在伦敦市中心以东约32公里（20英里）的格雷斯（grays）的一个工业区，紧急救
援人员接到人们乘坐卡车集装箱的警报后，这些尸体被发现。
警方说，最初他们认为死者是中国人，但北京方面表示，这些国籍尚未得到证实。两国大
使馆表示，中国和越南官员目前都在与英国警方密切合作。
越南中北部河内以南300公里（180英里）的nghe-an省偏远城镇延城（yen thanh）的天主
教神父安东尼（anthony dang huu nam）告诉路透社记者，他正在与遇难者家属联络。
“整个地区都沉浸在悲伤之中，”南勇说，周六，在这个笼罩着浓雾和雨水的小镇上，人
们通过扩音器为死者祈祷。“这对我们的社区来说是一场灾难。”
星期六晚上，南部带领大约500名信徒在延城一座简陋的白墙教堂里为死者祈祷，他们手
持点燃的蜡烛。
“我们在这里为正义与和平，为社会的受害者祈祷。我们为39名在前往英国途中丧生的人
祈祷。他们来自越南中部，我们的土地。
南勇说，家属告诉他，他们知道集装箱卡车行驶时有亲戚在英国旅行，一直无法与亲人联
系。
越南总理阮宣福下令政府官员帮助确定受害者身份，并调查越南公民非法出国的案件。
英国警方拒绝详细说明为什么他们第一次确认死者是中国人，并表示在正式确认身份之前
，他们不会透露更多有关受害者身份或国籍的细节。
“美好的一天”
在nghe-an省的yen thanh，19岁的bui thi nhung的几十位忧心忡忡的亲戚聚集在她家的
小院子里，她忧心忡忡的母亲已经无法从床上爬起来。
“她说她在法国，正在去英国的路上，在那里她有朋友和亲戚，”nhung的表妹，hoang
thi linh说。
“我们在等待，希望受害者中不是她，但很有可能。我们每天都为她祈祷。我们村有两个
人在那一组旅行。
周一，在一张上传到nhung facebook帐户的照片下，一位朋友在评论中询问了她的旅程。
“不太好，”nhung回答。“快到春天了，”她用越南语说，意思是她几乎到达目的地了
。
她帐户上的其他照片显示了她10月18日在布鲁塞尔的观光。
“真是美好的一天，”nhung发帖说。
另一个可能已经死亡的人是阮定图，他曾在罗马尼亚和德国非法工作，在那里他失去了工
作。
几个月前，他请妻子黄智聪帮他筹集1.1万英镑（约合1.4万美元），以支付从德国非法前
往英国的费用。
“我在10月21日和他失去了联系，”Thuong告诉路透社。“我有一大笔债务要偿还，没有
希望，也没有精力去做任何事情”。
屠呦呦的父亲说，英国的亲戚告诉他屠呦呦在卡车里，一直在计画接他。
屠呦呦的父亲阮丁赛特告诉路透社记者：“他们本来应该在下车点接他，但他们打电话说
屠呦呦在那辆卡车上。”
“我没有收到我儿子的任何消息”。
父母不能呼吸
目前还不清楚受害者是如何进入卡车的。
警方以涉嫌谋杀罪正在审问这辆卡车的25岁司机。上周五，警方表示，他们还逮捕了另外
三名涉嫌串谋交通肇事和过失杀人的人。
英国政府去年的一份报告显示，2009年至2016年期间，英国约70%的越南人口贩卖案件是
为了剥削劳动力，包括大麻生产和钉杆工作。
报告说：“来自农村地区的妇女和女孩也被认为更容易被贩卖。”
根据美国反人口贩卖组织太平洋联系基金会（pacific links foundation）3月份的一份
报告，nghe-an是越南最贫穷的省份之一，也是许多最终来到欧洲的人口贩卖受害者的家
园。
南神父说，其他受害者据信来自邻近的哈丁省。据官方媒体报导，今年前8个月，共有
41790人离开哈廷，到海外等地寻找工作。
2016年，台湾台塑集团旗下的一家钢铁厂污染了沿海水域，破坏了当地的渔业和旅游业，
并引发了广泛抗议，这是越南最严重的环境灾难之一。
另一名来自哈丁（ha tinh）的疑似受害者，26岁的pham thi tra my，给她母亲发了一条
短信，说大约在卡车集装箱从比利时运往英国的途中，她无法呼吸。
“那个女孩在留言中说她在卡车里不能呼吸？她父母在家里不能呼吸。

所以全部的39人应该全都是来自越南的
而不是如台湾的新闻都是无查证直接下定论来自中国的
