HCMC collects DNA samples for martyrs' relatives
HCMC - HCMC Police coordinated to collect DNA samples from relatives of unidentified martyrs from January 19 to January 23, 2026.
On January 17, the Department of Administrative Management of Social Order Police (PC06) - Ho Chi Minh City Police informed about the plan to coordinate with Department C06 - Ministry of Public Security to implement a program to collect DNA samples for relatives of unidentified martyrs throughout the city. This is a policy of profound humanitarian significance, demonstrating the responsibility and gratitude of the Party and State for those who sacrificed for national independence.
The product sample collection program will officially start from January 19, 2026 and last until January 23, 2026 with working hours divided into two shifts, morning and afternoon.
The collection of DNA samples is carried out on the principle of voluntariness, ensuring absolute safety and information security to build a database system to serve comparison with martyrs' remains in cemeteries across the country.
These biological products are expected to be the "scientific key" to help the heroic martyrs soon find their roots after many years of waiting.
During the launching days, Ho Chi Minh City Police will deploy collection at many mobile locations to facilitate people.
On the launching day of January 19, the working groups will work at the Hall of Hoc Mon Commune Police, Tan Khanh Ward People's Committee, Chau Pha Commune People's Committee and Gia Dinh Ward Police.
The collection activities continued to be maintained on January 20 and 21 at the People's Committee of Thu Dau Mot Ward, Dat Do Commune Police, Ben Cat Ward People's Committee and the Community Cultural Learning Center of Ba Ria Ward. To ensure that no cases are missed, the authorities will spend the last two days, January 22 and 23, to organize a dredging session at Ben Cat Ward People's Committee and Gia Dinh Ward Police.
In response to this sacred mission, Ho Chi Minh City Police called on the families of martyrs to actively coordinate and provide accurate information to the authorities. The companionship of martyrs' relatives not only brings comfort to the family, but also contributes significantly to helping the journey to identify martyrs to soon achieve practical results.
