The Standing Committee of Vietnam’s legislative body National Assembly (NA) has decided to delay the debate on a draft Law on Demonstration until the end of 2017, state media has reported.
Speaking at the 50th session of the Standing Committee earlier this week, Deputy Head of the NA’s Legal Committee Le Minh Thong said that the government needs more time to build the draft law before submitting to the parliament due to the difficulties and complication of the law.
Mr. Thong said that the draft law remains incomplete and catches mixed reviews, the newswire reported.
The draft law, which was initiated by former Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung in 2011, has been promised to submit to the NA since 2014 but the former cabinet and the current government broke the promise and attributed the delay for “lack of consistent ideas”.
Vietnam’s pro-democracy activists have criticized the government for long delay of the draft law which is necessary to activate human rights, especially rights to hold peaceful demonstrations and express their discontent.
