The U.S.’s “Country Report on Human Rights Practices for 2016-Vietnam” contains inaccuracies and does not reflect the real situation in Vietnam, Spokesman Le Hai Binh of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said.
Speaking at a press conference in Hanoi on March 13, Mr. Binh said Vietnam is ready to talk frankly, openly and in a constructive spirit with countries, including the U.S. on differences in human rights. To date, Vietnam and the U.S. have conducted 20 annual human rights dialogues, he said.
Vietnam has consistent policy to protect and promote the basic rights of its people, Mr. Binh said, adding that the country’s efforts and achievements in the continuous protection and improvement of basic rights have been recognized and appreciated by the international community.
Last week, the U.S. released the report, saying the most significant human rights problems in Vietnam were severe government restrictions of citizens’ political rights, particularly their right to change their government through free and fair elections; limits on citizens’ civil liberties, including freedom of assembly, association, and expression; and inadequate protection of citizens’ due process rights, including protection against arbitrary detention.
Other human rights abuses included arbitrary and unlawful deprivation of life; police attacks and corporal punishment; arbitrary arrest and detention for political activities; continued police mistreatment of suspects during arrest and detention, including the use of lethal force and austere prison conditions; and denial of the right to a fair and expeditious trial.
Corruption remained widespread throughout public-sector institutions, including police while Vietnam’s government maintained limits on workers’ rights to form and join independent unions and did not enforce safe and healthy working conditions adequately, the report said.
