Vietnam Human Rights Network Released its Report on Human Rights in Vietnam 2014
Press Release May 09, 2015
Little Saigon - May 09, 2015. Today the Vietnam Human Rights Network (VNHRN) published its annual Report on Human Rights in Vietnam 2014 during a press conference with the participation of representatives from major Vietnamese media outlet agencies and grass root community organizations in the area.
As in previous years, the 2014 report is the result of a collaborative work between VNHRN and a number of human rights activists in Vietnam. The report aims at covering common human rights violations in Vietnam in 2014 based on the criteria set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and other international human rights instruments that Vietnam has ratified.
Especially in this year's report, in addition to the human rights violation committed by the State of Vietnam, the report also mentioned the activities of individuals and organizations bravely working for Vietnamese people's basic rights.
With the report, the VNHRN not only alerts world opinion about the deplorable human rights situation in Vietnam, but also calls for Hanoi authorities to stop the violations which have existed for many years, and to pay damages to the victims. VNHRN also urges freedom-loving governments and international human rights organizations to confront Vietnam with its bad to worse records on human rights; and especially to prevent the Vietnamese government from tarnishing the reputation of the United Nations Human Rights Council when it abuses its Council membership.
