Pham Khac Chu, 44, from Vietnam’s northern province of Hai Duong has been in unconscious since June 6, one day after being detained by Thanh Ha district police and held in the district police detention facility, the Kien Thuc newswire reported Saturday.
Mr. Chu, who was healthy at the moment of being arrested according to Thanh Hai communal police Chief Nguyen Van Van, is currently under special medical treatment in the Hanoi-based Bach Mai Hospital. His conditions are very bad and he is unlikely to recover, medical staff in the hospital said.
Mr. Pham Khac Manh, the older brother of Chu, said his family was informed on June 7 that Chu is in critical health conditions and was hospitalized in Hai Duong province’s Central Hospital for special treatment.
According to the medical examination, there are number of serious injuries in Chu’s body. Chu’s face was deformed that his family hardly recognized him, his brother Manh said.
Staff in the provincial biggest hospital ordered to transfer Chu, who was alleged for stealing a smart phone from a local resident, to Bach Mai Hospital later after his health conditions worsened.
Speaking with a reporter of Kien Thuc newswire, Major Le Minh Hoan, deputy head of the Thanh Ha district police and deputy head of the Investigation Agency of the district police, said Chu was accused of stealing a Samsung Galaxy of a restaurant owner. He refused to attend a trial against him despite being summoned three times, Mr. Hoan said.
On June 5, the district police arrested Chu and transferred him to their detention facility on the same day for the trial, Hoan said.
One day later, Chu was found to be in bad health with a number of serious injuries, which may be caused by other detainees, Hoan noted. He rejected that Chu was beatenby police.
Mr. Manh affirmed that his family wants the Hai Duong authorities to investigate his brother’s case to find out the real reasons making him falling unconscious with so many severe injuries during the one-day detention.
Chu’s case is not sole in the communist-ruled Vietnam, where police has been granted with uncontrolled power . Between October 31, 2010 and September 30, 2014, there were nearly 300 people died in police facilities during detention, according to an official statistics. Most of the deaths were caused by suicides, authorities said.
However, families of these detainees have suspected that the deaths were the results of police torture.
According to the New York-based Human Rights Watch, torture is systemic problem in the one-party Vietnam. In its 96-page report titled “Public Insecurity: Deaths in Custody and Police Brutality in Vietnam,” the HRW highlights cases of police brutality that resulted in deaths and serious injuries of people in custody between August 2010 and July 2014.
Accordingly, police abuse is documented in 44 of Vietnam’s 58 provinces, throughout the country and in all five of the country’s major cities.
In 2014, Vietnam ratified the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
However, the police power abuse is not solved. Four people have been found dead in police stations so far this year./.
