The Paris-based Vietnam Committee on Human Rights (VCHR) on February 17 issued a press release that ranks Vietnam the fifth worst death penalty executioner in the world, the RFA reported.
The ranking was based on a recent report released by Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security, in which Vietnam said it held executions for 429 people with death sentences from August 2013 to June 2016. With the figure, Vietnam stands only behind China, Iran, Pakista, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S.
President of the VCHR Vo Van Ai said the use of death penalty in Vietnam is due to unjust law.
The MPS report, dated January 4, noted to deal with the high number of death sentence prisoners, Vietnam is building five new execution facilities to supplement to the five existing establishments. Security officers are also being trained quickly to conduct poison injection.
Although the 2009 Penal Code has reduced the number of death-sentence crimes to 22 from previous 44, the number of people sentenced to death continues to rise.
