13 Martyrs' Remains Found at Dien Khanh Ancient Citadel Prison Site

Authorities in Khanh Hoa province, Vietnam, have uncovered 13 sets of martyrs' remains at the former prison site within Dien Khanh Ancient Citadel. The discovery was made by the provincial Military Command's Remains Collection Team, working alongside local armed forces and militia.

The remains were found in an area historically used to detain revolutionary cadres and soldiers, many of whom are believed to have died while imprisoned. The collection team located the remains and historical artifacts, such as shell casings and oil lamps, after excavation and survey work.

A memorial service was held at the Cau Thanh Monument, where officials, military personnel, veterans, and relatives of martyrs paid their respects. Following the ceremony, the 13 sets of remains were respectfully transported to Hon Dung Martyrs' Cemetery for official rites and burial.

Local authorities indicated that further searches are planned for the Dien Khanh Ancient Citadel area, as they believe more martyrs' remains may still be undiscovered. This effort follows a directive from the provincial Steering Committee for the 500-Day and Night Campaign.
