Incident:
The youths participated in a protest against the government cutting green trees in the city of Hanoi on Sunday April 12, 2015. They worn T-shirt with an emblem similar to one of the Republic of Vietnam's. They were peaceful.

Five of them were arrested and Mr. Đáp, owner of Stand by You Club teaching English free, was asked to report to the police station for a working session because of his relationship with Mr. TRẦN Hải Hoàng Anh.  

There was no legal document at all for the detaining. Security police issued the arrest warrant after 9 days of detaining Dũng, but back-dated April 13, 2015.

The T-shirts they wore have a yellow eagle on the left front chest, similar to the military emblem of the Republic of Vietnam. On its back has the V symbol and the sentence "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people". It seems that it comes from the movie V for Vendetta.
