                  THE TRUTH - JUSTICE - LOVE




Dominhtuyen                   Ông Nguyễn Văn Lía
                                                       Mr. Nguyen Van Lia, Hoa Hao Buddhists 

There is more Hoa Hao Buddhists sentenced to 5 years in prison just for missionaries. Mr. Pham Van Lia 71, a Hoa Hao Buddhists were sentenced by the Vietnam Communist authorities  under Article 258 of the Penal Code on charges of "abusing the right to Freedom and Democracy infringe upon the interests of the state" . Vietnam's communist government has long nurtured the thought hostile to any religion that they believe is the most influential of the citizens and detrimental to the policy guidelines of the Vietnamese Party and State. From the Catholic Church, the Unified Buddhist, Protestant, Hoa Hao, Cao Dai Buddhism .... to anyone who thought and have behavior to support to Freedom, Democracy, Human Rights most of to call for a multi-party polity in Vietnam will be judged according to the terms of 258, the 79 and Article 88 of the criminal code, what is said about vague so long is unclear which was the International Human Rights organizations and Western countries condemned and criticized. 


On 10-12 of Human Rights recently, Vietnam has received many messages from the recommended International Human Rights Organization, representatives of countries like the United States, Norway, Canada, Switzerland and much of other part of the European community. However, Vietnam's communist government has ignored all the warnings and continue to violate human rights more and more serious. Perhaps pressure from countries such as Britain, France, the United States and the European community has not yet determined and strong enough to be able to put pressure on the Hanoi government to force them to respect human rights and stop all Religious oppression action. Every effort and attempt of the communist government of Vietnam to cover up and deceive the public about violations of their human rights are increasingly becoming failures. 


Vietnam government can not continue to create the trust before the international community when announced to improve human rights has continued repression and acts of abuse. However, any international effort to stop the violation of Vietnam's not feasible for heavily enough to form should not deter the leaders of totalitarian communist party and state this. We can not continue to rely on international intervention that Vietnam each one of us should endeavor, to unite into a mass on a larger, stronger through associate Religion. Links parties, mass organizations and foreign organizations into a new common action can be powerful enough to prevent all acts of religious persecution and human rights violations of the atheist communist regime at present.
