21 foreigners detained for staying
in Vietnam illegally for years: police
Police
in Ho Chi Minh City said they have detained 21 foreign men for staying in the
city without personal papers, some for as long as nine years.
The
officers checked their rented apartments on Phan Huy Ich Street, Go Vap
District, where 52 men were staying, on Monday night and many tried to flee.
Some fought back and the police had to
use tasers to control them. Police
said 21 of them failed to present valid passports and visas.
It is not immediately clear how and
whether police officers could verify their nationalities. According to
several media reports, the men came from African countries, including Nigeria
and Cameroon.
Initial
investigation found some of them have been staying in Vietnam without
personal papers for eight to nine years.
Locals
said the foreigners came to their neighborhood, renting ground-floor
apartments to open shops and restaurants. Some suspected that several of the
foreign men have also provided illegal sex services.
Police are investigating further.
