A mother came to a Vietnamese prison to visit her son and was informed by authorities that her offspring had died 16 months ago, the Dan Tri newswire has reported.
The son, Tran Anh Tuan, who was serving his 12-year imprisonment in the Phu Yen province-based Xuan Phuoc Prison managed by the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security. In 2002, Tuan, born in 1981, was sentenced for a murder he committed one year earlier. He was due to be freed in late June 2013.
Due to the family’s economic difficulties, relatives rarely visited Tuan during the past over ten years, said his father Tran Dung. Earlier this month, Mrs. Tran Thi Ngoc, his mother, came to the prison to ask why her son has not came back after the imprisonment ended and the prison’s authorities said he died on June 12, 2013 due to the HIV/AIDS disease.
Upset by the death of her son, Mrs. Ngoc questioned why the prison’s authorities had not have informed her family about the death of her son, they replied that they already sent notices to the family and local authorities in Vinh Tho ward, Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province where the family is residing.
Returning to Vinh Tho ward to question the local authorities for not informing her family about Tuan’s death, the local officials said they have no responsibilities to do it. They said the prison’s authorities are due to inform the family, but the notice may not be sent to her family as the family moved to Phuoc Dong commune in the same city.
The family is still petitioning state agencies in Nha Trang city to protest the negligence of local cadres.
Meanwhile, many people were reported to die in detentions and prisons in Vietnam which are managed by the Ministry of Public Security. According to the ministry, 226 detainees and inmates died in prisons in 2010-2014 period. Police said most of the deaths were caused by diseases and suicides, however, families of victims suspected that they died from torture.
In Vietnam’s prisons, human rights violations are systemic as inmates have been forced to work hard under while food is very bad and the living conditions are very severe, according to those who completed their imprisonments. Prisoners are subjects to torture of officers and aggressive inmates, they claimed.
