Vietnam's communist government to human rights violations by the continued use of some confusion in the criminal code for a wrongfully convicted of two dissident Nguyen Trung Ton is the pastor and writer Ho Thi Bich Khuong, she also was one of 48 writers in the world this year was awarded the Hellman Hammett an annual human rights prize awarded to writers around the world to honor those who, according to the monitoring organization Human Rights International is the victim of political persecution cases or abuse of human rights seriously. But the reputation is a public trial and democracy but that democracy is just a disguised envelope, artificially blinded to deceive public opinion at home and abroad as the verdict was predetermined and allowing defense attorneys argued indicative forms did not have any impact with the trial judge's.
Before increasing pressure from the international community and from the harsh criticism from the International Human Rights Organization, the government of Vietnam has applied these methods increasingly more tricks, more sophisticated in order to cover cover all violations of their human rights. But even deceitful tricks to wherever, the party leader and dictator of Vietnam Communist state can not cover up the truth of their wrongdoing because the core of the problem is still arrested, detained and imprisonment of people holding an unauthorized manner when they exercise their right to freely express their political opinions peacefully, a basic legal rights of citizens were protected by law through specific provisions in 69 of the Constitution of the Republic of Vietnam, Socialist and amendments issued since 1992 and in 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations.
Government of Vietnam can not continue to quibble over human rights violations covered by the act of sin in their deception to continue to apply the terms of ambiguity in the criminal code. Freedom of speech is a fundamental right of all legitimate national recognition without any difference in perception for each country is the representation of the people is a fundamental right moderate, the conviction they are detrimental to national security or conspiracy to overthrow the government as in the thing about 258, Article 88 and Article 79 of the Criminal Code that the Communist authorities often pressure to imprisonment of dissidents is entirely unfounded and unacceptable. Hanoi authorities should be aware that the trend of democratization of the global current or the party leaders and the communist state to change attitudes and behavior to fit their world movement or that they will face increasing pressure from the National Democracy in the world and even face to face with the opposition on a widespread social and ethnic communities, the patriot , love freedom and democracy in Vietnam.
