Senator Thanh Hai Ngo | May 10, 2016
Ottawa, May 10, 2016 – Today Senator Thanh Hai Ngo issued the following statement:
“I am truly concerned about the serious impacts of the recent environmental disaster in Vietnam, where mass amounts of dead fish have washed up on the country’s central coastline and are begin to cover the southern coast.
“This environmental disaster has had financial, health and environmental implications for the Vietnamese people living in one of the most vulnerable regions. The mass fish deaths along Vietnam’s shores have also compromised the people’s human rights in that country.Peaceful demonstrators who have participated in organized rallies to express their concerns about the imminent pollution disaster have been detained and beaten by police. Such excessive use of force by Vietnamese communist law enforcement officers against peaceful protestors calling for a greater government response is reckless and troubling.
“Vietnam’s communist government must take stronger action to determine the real cause of this disaster and to alleviate the consequences. Moreover, government authorities must protect the rights of Vietnamese people to protest against such environmental disasters that interfere with the enjoyment of human rights.
“The Socialist Republic of Vietnam must fully respect the right to peaceful assembly guaranteed under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which both Vietnam and Canada have also signed.
“The right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment is integral to the full enjoyment of a wide range of human rights, including the rights to life, health, food, water and sanitation, recognized in the International Covenant on Cultural, Economic and Social Rights, to which both Vietnam and Canada have signed.
“The Canadian government must urge the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to respect the right to freedom of assembly in keeping with international law, and to listen to the thousands of protesters calling for swift action to end the pollution and ensure that all those who have been poisoned by the polluted water receive proper treatment.
