Kalba diskusijoje dėl žmogaus teisių, demokratijos ir teisinės valstybės principų pažeidimo atvejų: Žodžio laisvė Vietname

Dear Colleagues,
The human rights situation in Vietnam has not improved but worsened, as the case of Nguyen Van Hoa shows repeatedly. A 22-year-old blogger and videographer, who wanted to unravel the environmental disaster in Ha Tinh Province to the public, was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment for having disseminated online information. Also recently a Vietnamese court upheld the 10-year sentence for another blogger, Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh, after she issued critical posts on environmental degradation and deaths in police custody.
As the number of detentions, arrests and convictions of Vietnamese citizens relating to expression of their opinions is rising, this situation and the restrictive approach of the authorities cannot be tolerated any more. I urge the Vietnamese Government to release all political prisoners and detainees immediately. I call on Vietnam to end the repression of freedom. There can be no closer ties between the European Union and Vietnam without respect for all these fundamental rights.
