Press
Release No. 10
April 15, 2007

Democracy, freedom, and human rights are
the values most cherished by, and of immediate concern to, the Vietnamese
people. Yet, the Vietnamese
Communist authorities are trying to blatantly rob them.
After tricking the world into giving them
access to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and into allowing then to
host the APEC Summit in Hanoi last November, and after luring the U.S.
into giving them the Permanent Normal Trade Relations status (PNTR), the
Vietnamese Communist authorities have slowly tightened their control over
the Vietnamese people. Evidences
of this policy include the recent brutal trial and sentencing of Father
Nguyen Van Ly, an internationally known religious leader and political
dissident (see photograph attached) to 8 years in prison, and the arrest
and imminent trial of such democracy advocates as Nguyen Van Dai, Le Thi Cong Nhan, and Le Quoc Quan.
As everyone knows, Vietnamese courts are
only tools of the Vietnamese Communist Party. They don’t serve the people but are subservient
to the Party because Article 4 of the Vietnamese Constitution gives the
absolute power to the Party, over the National Assembly, the people, and
the law.
The image of Father Ly being brutally
muzzled in the People’s Court of Hue-Thua Thien on March 30, 2007 has awaken the whole world to
the true nature of the Vietnamese Communist regime. More than anything else, this image has
eloquently testified to the savagery of this regime, which has resorted
to all the means available to suffocate the voices of conscience and the
appeal for desperately needed political reform in Vietnam.
This is an affront not only to the Vietnamese people but to the whole
world.
We call upon you to join us in the just
struggle for democracy, freedom, and human rights in Vietnam
by circulating this poster to everyone who might be able to help us.
