PROTEST OF HO CHI MINH POSTER (02/20/1999)
A Vietnamese video store owner who tried to rehang a post of Ho Chi Minh was met by a crowd of one-thousand protesters this morning. The controversy began over a month ago, when Truong Van Tran put the poster and a Communist flag on display at his store. He was forced to take them down but had recently received a court order allowing him to rehang the items. Tran made his way safely to his store today to rehang the posters as police in riot gear kept the protesters at bay. Tran left shortly after. Most of the 200,000 people living in Little Saigon's residential area are former political prisoners or refugees of Vietnam who hate the communist government. The crowd of protesters was made of Vietnamese-Americans and American veterans of the Vietnam War. At least 12 people were arrested.
