The Supreme People’s Court of Vietnam will hold an appeal on March 16 against four police officers in Hanoi who are accused of beating to death a suspect at a police station, state media reported.
According to the allegation, Hoang Ngoc Tuyen, deputy police head and three policemen namely Nguyen Trong Kien, Doan Van Tuyen and Hoang Ngoc Thuc in Kim No commune, Dong Anh district on Aug 30, 2012 tortured Nguyen Mau Thuan during interrogations in the communal police station.
Dong Anh is the homeland of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the single ruling party.
Thuan, arrested earlier on the same day for quarreling with his neighbor, died after being beaten severely by the four policemen, the verdict said.
In a trial on Sept 18 last year, the People’s Court in Hanoi sentenced Tuyen to 17 years in prison and Kien to 16 years in jail. The remaining two policemen received 8-year imprisonments.
Police torture is a systemic problem across the nation. The number of people died in police stations during detentions or killed by police in streets is rising, according to human rights bodies.
In its report released on Sept 18 last year, the Human Rights Watch reported that 28 Vietnamese people died and 11 others were severely beaten during detentions at police’s stations between August 2010 and July 2014.
In 2014, Vietnam ratified the UN Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in a bid to deal with police torture.
