3 | A Vietnamese engineer named Pham Thanh Son apparently set himself afire to protest the confiscation of his family's property by local authorities. | Injeniera Vietnamiana iray, Pham Thanh Son, no toa nandoro tena ho fanoherana ny nakàn'ny manampahefana tao an-toerana ny fananan'ny fianakaviany . |
4 | According to the blog Danlambao (which means citizen journalists), Son's self-immolation occurred on February 17 at 12:30pm outside the municipal offices of Vietnam's fifth largest city. | Araka ny ambaran'ny bilaogy Danlambao (izay midika hoe olon-tsotra manao gazety), tamin'ny 17 Febroary tamin'ny 12 ora sy sasany antoandro no nitranga ity fandoroana tena nataon”i Son ity, teo ivelan'ny birao monisipalin'ny tanàna fahadimy lehibe indrindra any Vietnam. |
5 | Son visited the People's Committee of Da Nang earlier in the day to petition his case. | Vao maraina tamin'io andro io dia tonga tao amin'ny Komitim-Bahoaka i Son hanao fanohanana ny amin'ny nahazo azy. |
6 | When authorities refused to hear his appeal, the young engineer set fire to himself and his motorcycle on the sidewalk outside. | Rehefa nandà tsy hihaino ny fangatahany ireo manampahefana, dia nandrehitra ny tenany niaraka tamin'ilay kodiarandroany teo amoron-dàlana teo ivelany teo ilay injeniera tanora. |

9 | Another eyewitness captured the scene on video: | Vavolombelona iray nanatri-maso no nanndrakitra ny zava-niseho ho ao anaty lahatsary: |
10 | Police initially indicated that Son's death was a routine traffic accident. | Tany am-boalohany dia nilaza ny polisy fa lozam-pifamoivoizana toy ny fahita no nahafaty an'i Son. |
11 | Authorities also described Son as a person with “mental problems.” | Ireo manampahefana koa dia namaritra an'i Son ho toy ny olona manana “olana ara-tsaina.” |
12 | Meanwhile, authorities reportedly posted plainclothes police outside Son's family residence and limited the family's ability to receive visitors. | Nandritra izany, nisy ny tatitra hoe nandefasan'ireo manampahefana polisy manao fanamiana sivily ny teny ivelan'ny trano fonenan'ny fianakavian'i Son ary noferana ny fahafahan'ny fianakaviany mandray mpitsidika. |
13 | Danlambao reports: | Mitatitra i Danlambao : |
14 | The underlying cause for this sad incident was the corruption surrounding the Cau Rong (Dragon Bridge) project. | Ny fototra nahatonga ity tranga mampalahelo ity dia ny kolikoly manodidina ilay tetikasa Cau Rong (Dragon Bridge). |
15 | It is known that the family of Pham Thanh Son repeatedly petitioned for adequate compensation for their property. | Fantatra fa natetika no nangataka onitra sahaza ny fananan'izy ireo nalaina taminy ny fianakavian'i Pham Thanh Son. |
16 | Their appeals went nowhere as authorities went ahead with the project. | Tsy tonga hatraiza anefa ny fangatahan-dry zareo satria niroso hatrany tamin'ilay tetikasa ireo manampahefana. |
17 | Da Nang, located along Vietnam's central coast, is in the midst of a major construction boom. | Da Nang, any amin'ny morontsiraka afovoany any Vietnam, dia ao anatin'ny firoboroboan'ny asa fanorenana goavana tokoa amin'izao. |
18 | Initiated in 2009, Cau Rong is a 667-meter long bridge currently being built over the Han river. | Natomboka tamin'ny 2009, Cau Rong dia tetezana lavabe mirefy 667 metatra eo an-dalam-panamboarana ao amin'ny reniranon'i Han. |
19 | Municipal authorities claimed to have adequately compensated and resettled local residents. | Milaza ho efa nanonitra araka ny tokony ho izy sy nanome toeram-ponenana ho an'ireo mponina tao an-toerana ny manampahefan'ny tanàna. |
20 | In recent years, many farmers and urban residents in Da Nang and throughout Vietnam have complained about land seizures and organized small protest movements. | Tao anatin'ny taona vitsy farany, maro ireo tantsaha sy mponina an-drenivohitra tao Da Nang sy nanerana an'i Vietnam no nitaraina mikasika ireo fakàna tany ary nikarakara hetsi-panoherana madinidinika. |
