Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) has welcomed the launch today of a report by the Campaign to Abolish Torture in Vietnam. The campaign advocates for humane treatment of detainees and prisoners in Vietnam and the elimination of the practice of torture and other abuses in Vietnamese prisons, jails, police stations, re-education centres, and other places of detention.
The report echoes CSW’s own research, which found that the torture of prisoners, and in particular religious and political prisoners, is still widespread in places of detention in Vietnam.
In 2013, the torture of several persons detained in connection with their religion or belief resulted in their deaths in police custody. In many cases, victims of torture were forced to flee to other parts of the country, or to neighbouring countries.
