Miss
\n Vietnam Missing, Believed Kidnapped<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Relatives of Vietnam’s reigning beauty queen, who disappeared a week
\n ago, say they believe she was kidnapped by her boyfriend to stop her
\n moving to Britain to study.<\/p>\n

Trieu Kim Oanh said her daughter Pham Thi Mai Phuong was forced into
\n a car last Tuesday by a group of young men as she was leaving an English
\n class.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old had recently been awarded a scholarship to study at the
\n University of Luton. <\/p>\n

Phuong was crowned Miss Vietnam in September. Communist Vietnam
\n discouraged beauty contests for years as a sign of capitalist decadence. <\/p>\n

Oanh said Phuong’s boyfriend, a policeman and the son of Haiphong Police
\n Chief Nguyen Binh Doan, had repeatedly said he did not want her to go
\n to Britain.    from Anaova<\/a>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
