Garden Grove, California – 9/15/07. As announced by Viet Bao Newspaper on September 13 issue, the Anti-Decree 36 Coalition has announced its tentative activities for the month of September, 2007.  One of Coalition's top priorities is to organize a ceremony for the public display of the billboard, showing the picture of Father Nguyen Van Ly in a closed trial in Vietnam .  The picture, taken surreptiously, recorded a Vietnamese secrete agent covered Father Ly's mouth, brutally denied his right to defend himself.  The following is the  announcement of the Anti-Decree 36 Coalition:

“ First of all, the Coalition would like to express its sincere
appreciation to all the people who attended the vigil last Tuesday night, to honor the victims and heroes in our nation's tragedy on September 11, six years ago.  Your thoughts, respectfulness, and support made the event possible and touched the hearts of fellow Americans, including members of Garden Grove Police Department, who highly complimented the Coalition for organizing the event in an orderly fashion.

Below are our activities for this coming Saturday, September 15, 2007:

1/ A billboard showing Father Ly’s mouth was covered by Vietnamese secrete agent in a closed trial in Vietnam will be placed on the shoulder of Freeway 22.  Opening ceremony will be held at 1:00 PM, 10532 Trask Avenue , between Brookhust Street and Euclid Street , Garden Grove city.  The costs associated with placing the billboard was covered by the Coalition’s general fund and by donations from members of Former Vietnamese Prisoners of War Organization.

2/ The demonstration to protest Viet Weekly Magazine will continue to be held as usual at Main Street from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.  After the demonstration, a group of Vietnamese youth will begin the “Yellow Flag” Movement.  This activity will include posting our national flag, the yellow flag with three red strips, in all commercial plazas within the vicinity of Little Saigon.  The purpose of this activity is to once again, confirm our position in dealing with human right and democracy issues in Vietnam .  In addition, this activity will send our message to Vietnamese Prime Minister, Mr. Nguyen Tan Dung, during his forthcoming visit to the United State.
