A timer was set to open the box, spreading leaflets believed to be based on articles written by the so-called Tuoi tre yeu nuoc (Patriotic Youth) organisation onto the street below.

The contents of the leaflets contained distortedand fabricated information on the Party and State’s religious and landpolicies, and biased viewpoints regarding the issue of Hoang Sa(Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) islands.
