The drill aims to deal with unarmed protesters
The drill, a joint operation carried out by the High Command of Commandos, the High Command of Communications, the Vinh Phuc province’s Military Command, and mobile police units, was carried out based on a scenario whereby residents in some nearby localities were incited to stage protests to complain about land and violations of democracy, human rights and freedom of religion.

Vietnam’s authorities deployed 1,300 commandos, soldiers and police officers to hold a drill aimed at confronting terrorists and protestors, and rescuing hostages in the northern province of Vinh Phuc on Dec 14 amid rising social dissatisfaction.
During the two-hour exercise, led by Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army Lieutenant General Pham Hong, the participants conducted the military exercise, aimed at rehearsing anti-terrorist combat, hostage rescue and subduing protests and riots.

The act was made in preparation to deal with increasing social dissatisfaction due to the government’s poor economic management, systemic corruption and weak response to China’s violations of the country’s sovereignty as well as bad human rights record.
Thousands of land petitioners have rallied in the capital city and other major cities to demand for reasonable compensation for the land which is seized by local authorities for urban and industrial development.
More and more people have bravely spoken to demand for political reforms and enhancement of human rights.
Vietnam’s parliament has delayed the adoption of a draft law on demonstration while the government continues to use decrees to criminalize people participating in peaceful demonstrations.
The communist-controlled legislative body also postponed approval of the draft law of associations. Recently, Minister of Public Security General Tran Dai Quang, who is expected to be promoted to higher position in the 2016-2021 period, labeled 60 unregistered civil society organizations as “reactionary groups”.
