Vietnamese people at home and abroad and the international community is increasingly expressed concern over the despised public actions of people and Public International Law from the Vietnamese communist state government through the government often citing national security reasons vaguely and abuse the unreasonable, filled with shortcomings of the Penal Code as in Articles 88 (propaganda against the regime) or Article 79 ( attempt to overthrow the government) ..... arbitrarily interpreted and used as a tool to detain Journalist, Journalist, Blogger, Activist Religion, Human activity right .... against corruption, against the negative and even for the patriotic students, artists and people took to the streets to protest the Chinese invasion of the enemy in the past. 

Wrong policies and actions of the Vietnamese communist government in recent decades has caused division and disturb society. People are losing faith in the government, no longer believe in the law of the State, as well as no longer believe that there is justice in Vietnam. Inside the Party and government leaders countries, distrust fighting each other for power struggles, leadership struggle that ignore the legitimate interests of the people, the benefits of National and Ethnic Minorities. Even for the sake of themselves and their families that cheap sell their own moral conscience. Before dark vision of the country today, people we can not continue to ignore the country look is every day closer to the brink of the abyss. We can not continue to see fellow of our blood, our relatives and our friends just because of expressing patriotism that must spent at the years of bitterness and pain in the prison, while the leaders of the Party and State government continue to enjoy life, and to indulge on the blood of the people and that the pain of National and Vietnam Ethnic.

most suppressed in 2012 


  CPJ's report shows that governments in the region over the past year have sought to limit freedom of the Internet by the restrictions, monitoring, censorship and threats of imprisonment of writers in the crime Name related to "national security." Vietnam tactics used to suppress freedom of the press CPJ raised in the report include the use of vague laws "against the state" to suppress journalists network, using police to monitor activities on the net, set up a team of "public opinion" propaganda in favor critical state and government criticism on the forums.

CPJ report noted that in recent years, Vietnam has adopted a series of laws allowing authorities to strengthen internet censorship and prosecution of bloggers who have left the state.

A decree in 2008 provided access to sites banned by the state in which the pages advocating multiparty democracy or criticize the policies of communist rule is illegal.

In the same year, a directive of the Ministry of Culture and Information issued requests personal blog pages not discuss political issues and to remove the articles that the government was "sensitive" including foreign articles are reprinted or translated.

CPJ also referred to a draft decree late last year requested the international engineering company established data centers and representative offices in Vietnam. This makes the netizens concerned about the level of safety for the IP address when they access the internet. This Decree does not allow anonymous bloggers or anonymous.

CPJ said decree mentioned forcing internet companies and service providers to cooperate with the law enforcement authorities broad inconsistent with international standards of human rights and a threat great for privacy and freedom of expression of citizens.

CPJ said the crackdown campaign targeted Vietnamese government internet bloggers are increasing, with the 13 freelance journalist sentenced to prison recently mainly because of the online article.

In August, two blogger Dinh Dang Dinh and Le Thanh Tung was sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison for the same offense, "propaganda against the state".

According to CPJ, journalists network in Vietnam is a challenge to the long totalitarian censorship of state media and communication. The criticism of the government and expose the corruption of state officials on the net has led the authorities to see the flow of information through the network is a threat to their power.

Previous reports of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), last month, Vietnam organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF) in France listed as one of the 10 countries with the worst press freedom globe, with positions unchanged 172/179 countries in the ranking of the World Press Freedom Index 2013 conducted by RSF.
