The Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications has imposed a 3-month suspension from publishing on a local newswire after it ran an article that vilified all women in the Mekong Delta.
The
Tri Thuc Tre (Young Intellectuals) newswire was penalized for seriously violating local regulations on journalism, according to a decision announced Friday by the ministry.
It is also required to pay a fine of VND207 million (US$9,773), the ministry said in the decision.
Many people, especially those coming from the delta, have become furious at and wildly criticized an article titled “Gái miền Tây và 3 chữ ‘N’ nổi danh thiên hạ” (Mekong Delta Girls and 3 Famous N’s) published by Tri Thuc Tre on August 12.
In the article, the author used extremely rude content to degrade women coming from the delta and thus incite regional discrimination.
