The whole world unanimously criticized the heavy sentence that Vietnam's communist government has ruled for Vietnamese dissident bloggers just because they have the right to freedom of expression and heart love their country peacefully. This was really to alert conscience of the world when people show their patriotism but to be crackdown and trampled harshly by government. We all know people's right to freedom of speech is not only defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of the United Nations, but also was the law and constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam recognized and protected.
But through the heavy sentence for dissident bloggers in court Monday morning, 24 September, 2012 recently is showed that the communist government of Vietnam has gone against their commitments to international on human rights. As the identification of the organization Reporters Without Borders and Amnesty International, the trial of dissident bloggers today is a trial "shameful". The Vietnam's communist government through the shame court above not only demonstrates the disregard of international law, but also challenge the patience of the entire human race progress all over the world that today's expression the government of the United States, the European Community and the International Human Rights Organization is a powerful demonstration and specific.
To protect individual interests and maintain policies his autocratic dictatorial rule, the leaders of the Vietnamese Communist Party and government have come out of this violation to other violations and the situation is becoming more serious when mistakes continue to pile up errors leading to unruly actions today despite the law and the constitution, despite international law and human moral conscience. However there is one thing that the group leader Ba Dinh Hanoi can not be any doubt that is the extreme persistence and patriotism of the Vietnamese people are bigger than their minds. As severely suppressed, as being trampled rough, the patriotism of the people is growing stronger. The fear, indifferent to everything also thanks to the way the brutal dictatorship of the Vietnamese Communist Party and the government that seems to have completely disappeared. Vietnam more and more people see and understand the true nature of the so-called socialist Republic of Vietnam with civilized society and inhuman way to rule of a corrupt regime crushed worth spit and forgotten.
