On July 5, the Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Police announced an administrative fine of 5 million VND (approximately $196) for N.T.T.H. (42 years old, from Tuyen Quang Province).

H., who identifies as a "teacher from a remote area," is also the owner of the Facebook account “Nguyen Huyen,” where she posted a video titled “Teacher from the mountains terrified in Nha Trang.”

Authorities reported that the woman had traveled to Nha Trang by car and parked in a restricted area at the April 2 Square, where parking and stopping are prohibited. Traffic police discovered the violation at 10:15 p.m. on June 24. The woman was not present at the time, prompting officers to immobilize the vehicle by clamping a wheel.

When she returned, the officers invited her to the station for clarification. Considering it was her first time visiting Nha Trang, the Khanh Hoa traffic police decided not to fine her, opting instead to issue a warning and educate her on local traffic rules.

However, the following morning, the Facebook account “Nguyen Huyen” published a video titled “Teacher from the mountains terrified in Nha Trang.” In the video, the woman recounted how traffic police clamped her car and expressed being “terrified” by the experience, stating she would never return to Nha Trang by car.

According to Khanh Hoa Police, H. was fined for “providing and sharing fabricated, false, and distorted information that defames and offends the reputation of organizations and the dignity of individuals.”

After working with police, H. voluntarily removed the video, gave a full statement, and pledged not to repeat the offense.
