Nguyen Viet Dung
By Vu Quoc Ngu | Jun 16, 2015
Nguyen Viet Dung, the founder and leader of the newly-established Republician Party of Vietnam, has been severely tortured by Hanoi security officers during interrogation, according to the local website Danlambao (Citizen Journalist.)
According to the independent online newswire, investigating officers of Hoan Kiem district beat Mr. Dung brutally when he refused to cooperate with them during the interrogation. Dung is held in the Hoan Kiem district police’s detention facility.
Mr. Dung, together with four other comrades, were arrested on April 12 after they participated in a peaceful demonstration of hundreds of Vietnamese activists protesting the massive chopping aged trees of the capital city in its main streets.
Four boys were released two days later while Mr. Dung was kept. The Hanoi city police accused him of conducting public disturbance under Article 245 of the country’s Criminal Code. If he is convicted, Mr. Dung may face imprisonment of between two and seven years.
During the environmental protest, the group of five boys weared military uniforms with the emblem of the army of the Vietnam Republic, the U.S.’s ally during the Vietnam War.
During interrogation, Mr. Dung expressed his sympathy with the Vietnam Republic which fell in 1975, espcially the naval battle against the chinese invasion of Hoang Sa (Paracels) in 1974, a source from Dung’s family said.
Protesting the arbitrary detention of Hoan Kiem district police, Mr. Dung affirmed that what he learned from Internet and other sources is different from the communist government’s propaganda, the source said.
Dung received a number of severe injuries, especially with ribbons by police torture and police sent him to the Hanoi-based Viet Duc Hospital for treatment, the source continued.
Mr. Dung was born in 1986 in the central province of Nghe An, the home province of late President Ho Chi Minh, the founder of the ruling communist party.
Graduated from the prestigious Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Dung returned to the home town.
In early of April, Dung declared to set up the Republician Party of Vietnam to fight for multi-party democracy and promote human rights in the Southeast Asian nation.
Im mid May, Mr. Chris Hayes, member of the Australian Parliament, called on the Australian Government to take action to demand Vietnam to release Mr. Dung.
In his letter dated May 13 sent to Foreign Minister Julia Bishop, Mr. Hayes said “the Australian Government which strong advocates for human rights, to take active interest in this matter and to call for the immediately release of Nguyen Viet Dung.”
Mr. Hayes, an Australian Labor Party politician said the Vietnamese community in New South Wale where he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives in 2005, and Australia at large, is very concerned about the safety and wellbeing of Mr. Dung, together with hundreds of other dissidents who are being imprisoned in Vietnam for simply exercising the basic freedom of human rights.
Vietnam, as a member of the UN Human Rights Council, has a responsibility to promote and respect human rights, Mr. Hayes said. However, the Vietnam’s human rights record seems to be worsening, he noted.
Vietnam is one of the few countries still following communism. The ruling party has vowed to keep the nation under one-party regime, and ordered the security forces not to allow opposition to be being established.
The communist government in Hanoi has harassed, persecuted and imprisoned all government critics, criminalizing those who bravely speak out about corruption, economic mismanagement and weak response to the Chinese violations of the country’s sovereignty in the East Sea.
Along with using controversial Articles 79, 88 and 258 of the Penal Code, Vietnam’s communist government has also used criminal charges such as tax evasion and public disorders to silent local dissent.
According to international human rights bodies, Vietnam is imprisoning between 150 and 200 political dissidents, bloggers and human rights activists while Hanoi denies to hold prisoners of conscience but only law violators.
Meanwhile, torture is systemic in Vietnam. The lawyers have yet to be allowed to attend interrogation while the rights to remain silent is still in the draft law.
