The news was issued by the Vietnamese Embassy in the Philippines this morning, after the court announced its order of release to these fishermen.
Yesterday, after the prosecutors at the court announced they had dropped all charges against these fishermen, the court said it would consider some issues before announcing the release of the remaining 37.
These fishermen are the crew members of the two boats BTh-99668TS and BTh-98079TS operating under the captainship of Tran Hut and Nguyen Thanh Nhan.
The released fishermen have been transferred to an army barracks of the Philippines’ Western Military Command, where the 85 fishermen have been staying while waiting for repatriation.
