Two women in Long Bien District in Hanoi, on October 8 morning climbed into a tree and stayed there as a way to protest against local authorities who were about to cut it down.

The tree is in front of the women’s house at No. 64 Nguyen Van Cu Street. They even brought bread and fresh water into the tree during their protest. Their guerrilla tactics aroused many people’s curiosity, even causing a traffic jam at the site. They sat in the tree in a very relaxed way, eating bread and drinking water.
Local authorities planned to cut down trees on Nguyen Van Cu which showed signs of decay and face the risk of collapse in the rainy season. However, they faced a strong protest from these women at No.64.
At 11:30 a.m after the local authorities left, the women climbed down and went inside.
