The most severe penalty was handed to students Vu Ngoc Diep and Chu Minh Huyen. The two students have been suspended from school for the rest of the school year.

Diep and Huyen are seen in the minute-long video clip beating fellow student Nguyen Quynh Anh, and are accused of encouraging others to join in and film the incident. Students pulled Anh’s hair, punched her and kicked her in the head.

If the suspended students engage in any negative behavior next year, they will be permanently expelled.

Anh, the victim, and another student On Minh Huyen received warnings in front of the entire school for their involvement in the incident and for being dishonest with police who investigated the case.

Students Ngo Manh Hung and Trinh Minh Tu, who are seen in the video watching the fight, also received reprimands for failing to alert adults or intervene.

Student Dang Quang Manh, who posted the video on the Internet was given a warning.
