Vietnam’s National Assembly (NA), the country’s highest legislative body, has allowed the government to submit a draft law on demonstration until late 2016, instead of the ongoing plenary meeting beginning on May 20.
The NA’s Standing Committee said that the delay is aimed to help the government better complete the draft law and submit it to the NA in the second plenary meeting of the NA’s 14th session in October 2016.
The delay will enable the Ministry of Justice to collect more ideas and experience from domestic and foreign experts, Phan Trung Ly, head of the NA’s Legal Committee, said at the meeting on May 21.
In response to the proposal, Phan Xuan Dung, head of the NA’s Committee for Science, Technology and environment, said that the draft law must be submitted soon to satisfy people’s rights to expression.
In 2011, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung asked the Ministry of Pubic Security to compile the draft law, saying that the move will meet the actual demand.
Rights to gathering and expression are stipulated in the Vietnamese constitution but no law made to implement such a right.
People in Vietnam, mostly intellectuals and activists who advocate for democracy, have demonstrated to protest against Chinese tensions in Vietnamese waters in the East Sea, or poor implementation of fundamental human rights by the Vietnamese communist leadership. But most of the cases are violently dispersed.
Demonstrators are subjected to legal violators due to lack of law.
