Vietnam Human Rights Network Releases Report on Human Rights in Vietnam 2013
Press Release April 29, 2014
The Vietnam Human Rights Network (VNHRN) today releases the Report on Human Rights in Vietnam 2013, which is the result of a cooperative work between VNHRN and a number of human rights activists inside Vietnam.
The report aims at covering common human rights violations in Vietnam in 2013 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.
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.
