Vietnam condemns violent interference in its internal affairs

The government body stressed that “these actions constitute a violation of human rights at the highest levels, as well as the right to self-determination of an independent, sovereign state,” referring to false and inaccurate information that has recently appeared on the Internet and that does not correspond to the real situation regarding this issue in The country.

The article refers to the sentencing of the director of the Center for Change, Hoang Thi Minh Hung, to three years in prison for tax evasion, and the operation launched against the head of the Energy Transformation Initiative Company, Ngo Thi Thu Nhin, who is accused of embezzling documents.

Regarding this latest case, recall that the Hanoi Police Investigative Agency also prosecuted and detained two officials of the National Electricity Group for providing Nhin with information related to that entity’s development policy planning.

However, the text highlights that after the sentencing of Minh Hung and the trial of Tu Nhinh, false and distorted information was disseminated, falsely charging that the punishment against the former constituted a demonstration of the suppression of environmentalists in Vietnam.

In addition, he adds, there is unfounded information that appears to be politically motivated, referring to the supposed goal “to continue the repression of activists defending land and environmental rights and demanding ‘urgent intervention’.”

The purpose of these actions is to deceive the national and international community about the human rights situation in Vietnam, and the VNA explains and exposes that its recurring trick is to characterize those who commit criminal and economic crimes as human rights, democratic, religious or environmental “activists.”

And in Vietnam – the comment once again emphasizes – there are no cases such as “arbitrary detention of environmental activists” or “arrest of opponents”, as some people echoed on behalf of certain organizations.

It should be noted that in this Indo-Chinese nation, all individuals, associations and NGOs have the necessary conditions to function normally in accordance with the regulations and, at the same time, are responsible for their activities before the law, as we will mention later.

The multimedia agency also highlights that after 37 years of renewal (Doi moi), through building and completing a socialist state and actively and proactively integrating into the world, Vietnam has demonstrated many important achievements in promoting and protecting human rights.

He pointed out that the state has also committed to implementing the international conventions related to human rights to which it has acceded, and considers this a political and legal responsibility of the state.
