HANOI, (APP/AFP): Around 450 Vietnamese drug addicts have
escaped from a rehabilitation centre where many were held for compulsory treatment, an official said Thursday.
The detainees attacked guards, climbed walls, and broke down the main
gate at the centre in the Vietnam’s southern province of Ba Ria Vung Tau late Wednesday.
“We have brought 150 patients back, while search efforts are underway
for nearly 300 others,” Le Thi Trang Dai, director of the provincial labour department, told AFP.
