28/8/15
Amnesty
is a tolerant policy of the Party, State and represents the humanitarian
tradition of the people of Vietnam with the offenders, encouraging them to
repent, train themselves to become useful citizens of the society. At the same
time, amnesty is also the record to their re-education results complying with the
rules of the inmates and also as a result of the process of education and
rehabilitation of prisoners, reflecting the close cooperation among prison ,
family, the relevant authorities and society. National Assembly of the Republic
Socialist Vietnam passed the Law on Amnesty in 2007. Implementing the Law on
Amnesty in recent years, the President has decided many amnesties, return
convicts earlier at major events, major national holidays or in special
circumstances.
Amnesty
in recent years has achieved many positive results. As for social aspect, the
special amnesty for prisoners eligible under the provisions has the effect of
encouraging convict those are serving prison term of imprisonment to active
learn, work, comply with regulations, rules and prisons, atone their fault to
enjoy amnesty and soon return to reunite with their families and communities.
Amnesty helps consolidating the people's confidence in the clemency and
humanity of the Party and State, reflecting the essence of our socialist regime.
As for economic aspect, amnesty helps reducing state spending, the pressure on
prisons, create conditions for prisons to upgrade facilities and equipment,
improve the quality to educate prisoners, prepare necessary facilities for
prisoners to reintegrate into the community when they are released. As for
politic aspect, the publicity, transparency and democracy in the implementation
of the procedure for reviewing amnesty, the full information to the local press
agencies, international and organize the visits, survey in prisons for
international human rights organizations. All have demonstrated humanitarian
policy of our Party and State for offenders. Let media and international human
rights organizations to understand and recognize the clemency and humanity of
the Party and State helps counteract the wrong point of the hostile forces when
they intentionally to slander Vietnam violate human rights.
