Dashed dreams: Profiles of the Vietnamese missing in Britain

Le Minh Tuan fears his son Le Van Ha is among the 39 found dead in a truck in Britain and that his young grandson has been left fatherless
Le Van Ha tried his hand as a police officer, a rice farmer and then an interior designer before paying smugglers for passage from Vietnam to Europe, a move that may have cost him his life -- and his young sons their father.
His family fear Ha is among 39 bodies found in a truck in Britain on Wednesday, a tragedy that has exposed the extreme risks migrants undertake in the quest for better lives overseas.
Fragments of the lives of the suspected victims are emerging from central Vietnam, long a source of illegal migration to Europe -- pictures, hopes of new lives ahead relayed over Facebook or heart-tearing final messages.
They include a selfie-snapping teenager who loved bubble tea and noodle soup; a former army recruit who was travelling with a cousin; and a tattooed 20-year-old who may have sought work in a UK nail bar.
They also include Ha, the 30-year-old father of two young sons who went overseas to earn money to pay off a mountain of debt and support his family back in his remote village in Nghe An province.
He wrote to his family before apparently boarding the ill-fated truck, discovered stuffed with bodies in an industrial park in Essex, east of London.
"I'm about to board a car to Britain. I will contact the family when I arrive in England, Dad," he wrote to his father on Facebook messenger.
That was six days ago, and his father has heard nothing since.
"For sure he was in that lorry. I just want my son's (body) back home," Le Minh Tuan told AFP from the family home in Yen Hoi village.
Crippled by grief, Tuan clutches Ha's son and weeps, the confused child's eyes wet with tears too.
Ha's wife, who stayed behind in Yen Hoi, now fears she is a widow and her children are fatherless.
Ha took off in June, flying to Ho Chi Minh City then Malaysia en route to Turkey. From there he went to Greece then France, where he may have snuck onto the truck to Britain.
Buried by debt back home -- he paid smugglers $30,000 to get him to Europe, and another $8,500 loan to build the family house -- Ha hoped to land a decent salary in the UK.
"He wanted to go to pay the debts... and send money back to his kids so they would have a better life," said his father, clinging to his grandson and weeping.
- 'Bright smile' -
Illegal migration abroad was not Ha's first choice. He trained as a police officer for three years before flunking the final exam, then worked as a rice farmer and an interior designer.
But nothing seemed to stick, propelling his dangerous journey to Britain.
Nghe An is one of a handful of rural provinces in central Vietnam that most of the country's illegal migrants come from.
They are mostly young, eager to escape mundane village life for promises of wealth working overseas.
That might have been what drove Bui Thi Nhung to Europe, where she frequently published photos from on her active Facebook feed.
But two days before the truck tragedy, her feed went silent, and now her family fears the worst.
"Step outside with a bright smile," she wrote in one of her final posts with a selfie of the fair-skinned 19-year-old.
An avid Facebooker, in recent weeks she posted photos of herself posing in France, along with praise for her mother's home cooking and pictures of bubble tea and a bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup, pho, in Germany.
Now her portrait sits atop a makeshift altar adorned with fruit offering and flowers that her family set up, praying they might one day see her again.
Elsewhere in the area, families recount shreds of other lives they fear might have been cut short.
Nguyen Dinh Tu's relatives talk about his time as an army recruit before he moved abroad a year ago. He was with a cousin who at the last minute did not get on the truck, which may have saved his life, Tu's family said.
In neighbouring Ha Tinh province, Nguyen Dinh Luong's sibling has been looking for the 20-year-old in an agonising appeal for information.
"His characteristics: 1.62 meters, weight about 58 kg. He has a tattoo on his left bicep," the relative wrote in a Facebook post above a photo of Luong in a down vest and baseball cap.
The post was published on a Facebook page advertising nail salon jobs in Britain, a common line of work for illegal migrants.

- 'I'm dying': Relatives await answers in smuggling case

Police secure the area around the industrial estate where 39 lifeless bodies, eight women and 31 men, were discovered Wednesday in a truck, near Grays, southeast England, Friday Oct. 25, 2019. China called Friday for joint efforts to counter human smuggling after the discovery in Britain of 39 dead people believed to be Chinese who stowed away in a shipping container.

DO THANH, Vietnam (AP) — One family received a final text from their daughter saying she couldn't breathe and was dying. Another grieving family set up a makeshift altar for their missing daughter who paid $10,000 in hopes of pursuing a career as a nail technician in Britain. A desperate father is searching for his son, who frequently calls home but hasn't since last week.
They are some of the dozens of families looking for any information about their loved ones following the discovery earlier this week of 39 bodies in the back of a sealed truck in southeastern England. The investigation into the gruesome case is still in the early stages, but British officials have deemed it one of the deadliest cases of people smuggling ever reported in the country.
British police charged the 25-year-old truck driver Saturday with 39 counts of manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people. Five people are being questioned by police, including the truck driver and three people who were arrested Friday on suspicion on manslaughter and conspiracy to traffic people. Irish police said another man was arrested Saturday in connection with the case.
Police said they have removed all the bodies from the truck and are awaiting autopsies. Identifying the victims is expected to be difficult and officials said very few documents were found with the bodies. Smugglers normally take the passports of their passengers to obscure their identities, stripping them of their names and giving them new documents when they arrive at their destinations.
Police initially believed the victims were Chinese but later acknowledged that the details were still evolving. The Vietnamese government also announced Sunday its own investigation into the deaths and set up a hotline for families.
That comes after attention shifted to Vietnam Friday, when the family of a 26-year-old Vietnamese woman released text messages suggesting she had suffocated in the truck. Relatives of Pham Tra My told the BBC they had been unable to contact the 26-year-old since receiving a text Tuesday night saying she was suffocating.
"I'm so sorry mom and dad. ... My journey abroad doesn't succeed," she wrote. "Mom, I love you and dad very much. I'm dying because I can't breathe. ... Mom, I'm so sorry."
In the village of Do Thanh, in Yen Thanh district in north-central Vietnam, the mother and a sister of Bui Thi Nhung mourned Saturday as they set up an altar for the 19-year-old woman. A family friend in the U.K. told them their relative had died in the tragedy.
Nhung paid an agent thousands of dollars in hopes of finding work at a nail parlor in Britain.
"Many families in Yen Thanh got rich from money sent back by their children working abroad," said Le Dình Tuan, a neighbor who had gone to her house to check on her mother.
The father of 20-year-old Nguyen Dình Luong fears his son is among the dead. He told The Associated Press he hadn't been able to reach his son since last week, when the young man told his father he planned to join a group in Paris that was trying to reach England.
"He often called home, but I haven't been able to reach him since the last time we talked last week," Nguyen Dình Gia said. "I told him that he could go to anywhere he wants as long as it's safe. He shouldn't be worried about money, I'll take care of it."
His older brother, Pham Dình Hai, said Luong had a tattoo of praying hands on a cross on his right shoulder. The family said they shared the information with local authorities.
Desperate families are now reaching out to the media, community organizations and acquaintances in the U.K., hoping for any scrap of news. A representative for VietHome, which serves Vietnamese people in the U.K., said it had forwarded to police the pictures of almost 20 people who have been reported missing.
Vietnamese Ambassador Tran Ngoc An visited the scene and worked with Essex police to deliver information from concerned Vietnamese families. He also paid tribute to the victims at the civic center in Grays.
Bernie Gravett, a former Metropolitan Police officer who now advises the European Union on human trafficking, told the BBC that the use of false identification and the sheer numbers of people traveling to Europe make such efforts difficult.
"It's a cruel stage for the families, because hundreds if not thousands are currently on those routes, so I appreciate we are getting calls from Vietnam saying my loved one is missing and my loved one may be on that lorry (truck), but they could be on another lorry," he said.
