On October 14, the city held a ceremony to pay tribute to, commemorate and bury the 731 sets of remains recovered from Le Thi Rieng Park. All were reburied at the Ho Chi Minh City Martyrs’ Cemetery.
The search and recovery operation at Le Thi Rieng Park was launched on July 6 following the conclusion of Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra at a workshop verifying information about a mass grave of martyrs in the area.
Earlier, based on witness accounts and historical records, the Ho Chi Minh City Command estimated that hundreds of martyrs killed during the 1968 Tet Offensive and Uprising may have been buried in Do Thanh - Chi Hoa cemetery, now Le Thi Rieng Park.
