Thưa quý vị và quý bạn,
Như đã
thưa trước đây, chúng ta cần làm một thư tố cáo chính thức lên Ủy ban Nhân
Quyền Liên Hiệp Quốc, yêu cầu họ tống xuất CSVN ra khỏi Ủy Ban. Thư này phải
được làm dưới dạng Petition để mọi người dân Việt có thể cùng ký tên, hầu tăng
sức mạnh. Đồng thời với những Youtube, hình ảnh cụ thể, cùng danh sách Tù Nhân
Lương tâm, chúng tôi tin rằng CSVN sẽ bị một đòn rất nặng, cũng như có thể như
một ngọn lửa cho đồng bào quốc nội và quốc ngoại cùng vùng lên.
Xin
góp ý cho những thiếu sót, nếu có , trong thư này, vì chỉ có một người viết
vội, và xin thứ lỗi cho nếu không thể sửa lại được như ý muốn của quý vị.
Kính
xin chuyển tiếp.
Đa
Tạ.

Honorable
Sirs and Madams:
According
to “paragraph 94 of resolution 5/1, the Chairperson of the Working Group on Communications,
together with the Secretariat, undertake an initial screening of communications
based on the admissibility criteria set in paragraphs 85 to 88 of resolution
5/1”, we, Vietnamese people worldwide solemnly request Honorable Sirs and
Madams to investigate the extreme brutality and inhuman activities that the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam Government have been applying on their
people systematically for many decades.
We
also request a banning on all activities of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
within the United Nation Human Rights Commission based on the facts that they
gravely violated Human Rights in Vietnam systematically for many decades.
This
request will contain a description of the relevant facts including Youtube and
images taken in Vietnam. It “will not be manifestly politically motivated; not
be exclusively based on reports disseminated by mass media; not being already
dealt with by a special procedure, a treaty body or other United Nations or
similar regional complaints procedure in the field of human rights” (According
to the definitions of United Nation of Human Rights Commission.)
The
complaint:
-Alleges
severe violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights repeated on a
substantial number of occasions.
-Alleged deteriorating situation of human rights of people
including forced evictions, racial segregation and substandard living
conditions.
-Alleged degrading situation of prison conditions for both
detainees and prison workers, resulting in violence and death of inmates.
(According to the definitions of United Nation of Human Rights Commission.)
THE ALLIGATION:
The
Socialist Republic of Vietnam has severely violated the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDOHR)
UDOHR’s
Article 1.
- All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and
rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards
one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
In
Vietnam:
There
is a distinguished segregation between two classes: Communist Party Members and
the People.
1-The
Communist Party of Vietnam is the ruling political party of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
It creates a supreme government and has centralized control
over the state, military, and media. The supremacy of the Communist Party is
guaranteed by Article 4 of the national constitution. By and through this article, the
Communist Party of Vietnam denies the right of citizens to have freedom of
speech, freedom of expression, freedoms of opinion, and religious freedom. The
Government of Vietnam forbids people to question about the legitimacy of the
one-party state, controls the press, and tightly limits access to the Internet
and telecommunication. The penalty for the bloggers and persons who use
Internet as their like are severely high, from 2 years to 16 years in jail.
Article 4 of the National Constitution of Socialist Republic of Vietnam was created as follow: “The Communist Party of Vietnam, the vanguard of the working class, and loyal representatives of the working class, the working people and the whole nation, who adheres to Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thoughts, is the force assuming leadership of the State and society. All organizations of the Party shall operate within the framework of the Constitution and the Law.”
Based on the illegal segregation, the Party members and high ranking officials are so rich that they become ones among the richest families in South East Asia while the people, in general, are hungry and poor that they have to sell themselves to foreigners as sex slaves. In Cambodia, thousands of children under ages of 12 are working to death in damp and obscured prostitute houses.
2-Due to their absolute power, the Vietnam Communist Party had killed million of their own people without reason:
a-From 1953-1956, in Northern Vietnam, Communists organized a mass murder of about 200,000 innocent people who belonged to middle class and higher. Whoever had some property or were rich were killed brutally. Thousand were shot in front of crowd, others were beaten to death by shovels or hanged, many were buried alive then stepped by buffalos. To avoid being persecuted by Communists, a million people had fled from the North to the South in 1954.
b-In the 1968 Tet offensive, Northern Communists attacked 42 provinces in the South and killed thousands of innocent civilians. At Hue, a big city in the Central part of Vietnam, Communists killed more than 6,000 civilians without trial. Thousands of young people were tired by iron strings and shot in front of the tunnels that were dug by themselves.
c-After the fall of Saigon in 1975, hundred thousands of officials and military officers who served the South regime were put in concentration camps for death of hunger and tortures. Besides, in order to take over the property of Southern people, the Communists pushed all rich people to “New Economic Regions” where they detainees were left in hunger and sickness. During that time, the Government occupied the detainees’ business, houses, lands, and personal property, saving accounts and cash. Hundred thousands of civilians who had even little relationships with the former regime were died in camps.
d- Above all, to gain power in Vietnam, the Vietnam Communist Party, led by Red China and Russia, caused a war between the North and the South from 1954 to 1975. The death toll was estimated at 2,500,000 people in both sides, not including million wounded.
e- Recently, besides occupying people’s lands to build hotels or Golf courses for the rich and forced million people become homeless, in every raining season, the Government in highland opened damp gates at the same time to release the pressure of water contained in the damps without paying attention on people who lived downstream. Every year, hundred of citizens living downstream were killed by this activity. Their properties were destroyed, their families were crashed, and their lives were totally collapsed.
UDOHR’s
Article 2.
- Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set
forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race,
color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or
social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no
distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or
international status of the country or territory to which a person
belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any
other limitation of sovereignty.
- Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of
person.
In
Vietnam:
Since
January 11, 2007 when Vietnam accessed to the WTO, the Government of Vietnam
arbitrarily arrested and detained numerous individuals for their peaceful
advocacy of religious freedom, democracy, and human rights. including musician
Viet Khang, bloggers Nguyen Phuong Uyen, Nguyen Kha, Nhat Uy, Ta Phong Tan,
Dieu Cay, and many more peaceful protestants. The Government continues to
imprison, detain, place under house arrest, torture, or persecute all bloggers
who pursuit of internationally recognized human rights. Tran Huynh Duy Thuc,
Nguyen Tien Trung, Le Thang Long, Nguyen Xuan Nghia… were persecuted to the
maximum of penalty, from seven to sixteen years in jail. Nguyen Huu Cau, due to
his only one patriotic song, has been in jail for more than 35 years.
The
Government of Socialist Republic of Vietnam continues to detain labor leaders
and restricts the right to organize independently. The Government limits the
religious freedom, restrict the operations of independent religious
organizations such as Hoa Hao Buddhist. It tortured and persecuted believers
whose only activities were worshipping their own God in their own ways.
UDOHR’s
Article 4.
- No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery
and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
In
Vietnam:
For
many years, Vietnam has been a country for the commercial sexual exploitation
and forced labor of women and girls. Vietnam also is a destination country for
child trafficking and continues to have internal human trafficking. Hundreds of
thousand children were sold to be sex slaves in Cambodia and Thailand. Many of
them were under ages of 12.
The
Government legally exports young men and women to other countries for profits
to the Government. All who want to work out of state must pay the Government
big sums of money and take risk of being lack of support from representatives
of Vietnam Government whenever they are abused at their work places. Many of
laborers became sex slaves in foreign countries because they did not ever
receive support from the organizations that sent them out.
UDOHR’s
Article 5.
- No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel,
inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
UDOHR’s
Article 6.
- Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a
person before the law.
- All are equal before the law and are entitled without
any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to
equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this
Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.
- Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the
competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights
granted him by the constitution or by law.
- No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest,
detention or exile.
In
Vietnam:
Many
bloggers and peaceful Human Right pursuers were tortured in front of public or
in jails. Police kidnapped bloggers Nguyễn Hoàng Vy, forcefully undressed her,
made fun with victims’ bodies at police station, left the victims in hunger and
thirsty, then pushed her home without returning her belongings such as cellular
phones, laptops, and cameras. They beat bloggers Phuong Uyen, Bui Minh Hang and
friends right at air port reception halls and left victims’ wounded bodies
there without any treatment.
Ethnic
minority Protestant congregations, such as Montagnards in the Central and Northwest
Highlands, suffered severe abuses. They were forced for renunciations of faith,
or be arrested and harassed. In 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2008, the Government
withheld of social programs provided for the general population, confiscation
and destruction of property, subjection to severe beatings, and reported
deaths. Pastor Nguyen Cong Chinh’s family and his followers were attacked by
groups of gangs day and night. Police used electric saw to destroy their homes
then, put them in jails.
The
Government used violence to respond to peaceful prayer vigils and
demonstrations by Catholics for the return of Government-confiscated church
properties. At Thai Ha Church, protesters have been beaten by gangs violently.
Catholic church’s properties had been destroyed and then, converted to private
manufactures. Catholics still face restrictions on selection of clergy; all
priests in seminaries must registered at local government and be approved by
police.
On
May 2010, at Con Dau village, a Catholic parish in Da Nang, during a religious
funeral procession, police attacked the participants at village cemetery and
injured more than 100 villagers. Police then arrested 62 for questioning. At
least five were tortured, and three were killed brutally. One was killed by a chopstick
that went through his ears.
The
Government of Vietnam restricts contacts and movement of senior clergy of The
Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam. Police continues to harass and threaten
monks, nuns, and youth leaders.
Other
religious adherents, such as Cao Dai and Hoa Hao Buddhists’ religious
activities were suppressed. Police captured priests and peaceful protesters.
Some innocent Hoa Hao followers were tortured. One senior’s legs were chopped
down by police’s hammer. Many Hoa Hao priests were put in jails without any
medical treatment for their wounds caused by police’s brutalities. Some Hoa Hao
followers attempted suicides at home or in jail. The jailers left Ms. Mai Thi
Dung crawling on floor like dogs without medical treatment.
Ethnic
minority Hmong and Khmer Krom also suffer restrictions, confiscation of
property, abuses, and persecution by police. Theravada Buddhist temples, and
all Khmer Buddhist religious organizations were prohibited. Peaceful protests
were forbids. Protestors were put in jail without any properly trial.
Many
people whose political or religious affiliations and activities are not
approved by police are forcefully pushed to closed trials, without lawyers, and
were detained for years without trial. In recent years, many innocent people
were forced to be present at police station for questioning then died a day or
two after that. With such cases, police always briefly described as “suicides”
and returned victims’ bodies to families for funeral without any excuse.
UDOHR’s
Article 10.
- Everyone is entitled in
full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial
tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any
criminal charge against him.
- (1) Everyone charged with a penal offence has the
right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a
public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his
defense.
- (2) No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on
account of any act or omission which did not constitute a penal offence,
under national or international law, at the time when it was committed.
Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at
the time the penal offence was committed.
In
Vietnam:
There
are no separation among Legislative, Justice, and Executive Branch. All trials
at court, if there is any, are directly guided by the Communist Party. In all
cases, the peaceful protesters were denied their rights to have their defense
at court. Regardless whatever the defending lawyers might say, judges never
listened but read the sentences that already been prepared by the Communist
Government. Father Nguyen Van Ly, once at court, was suppressed brutally by
police who pressed him down while strongly covered his mouth when he wanted to
speak. Many bloggers under ages of 30, appeared in court on charges
related to an Internet and Facebook campaign against government and were in
jails without properly court procession.
Nowadays,
there are 180 detainees who are charged on “publishing and distributing harmful
documentary to the Government”, including bloggers Dieu Cay, Ta Phong Tan.. who
only used their rights of speech against the invading of China. All those
victims never received any proper court procession.
UDOHR’s
Article 12.
- No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference
with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his
honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law
against such interference or attacks.
In
Vietnam:
For
decades, the Government have controls completely and fully the law of Real
Estate. Land belongs to the Government. Nobody can own his or her land, except
the Government. People can sell the improvement and attachment without land.
Thus, the Government can take over people’s houses, land, and properties
anytime and anywhere. Regardless people’s protests against the take-over, the
Government uses any means including using police and military force to occupy
people’s land and houses. Whoever dares to disobey the Government’ order will
be persecuted at the highest level of penalty. Many lawyers who defended the
people against the violently occupation of the Government were put in jails.
Attorneys Lê Trần Luật, Cù Huy Hà Vũ, Trương quốc Huy, Lê Thăng Long, Trần Huỳnh
Duy Thức, Nguyễn Tiến Trung… and many more were sentenced from 3 to 16 years in
jails just because of their heroic activities when helping people.
UDOHR’s
Article 18.
- Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience
and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or
belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in
public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching,
practice, worship and observance.
- Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and
expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without
interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through
any media and regardless of frontiers.
In
Vietnam:
All
persons who discuss about Democracy or Freedom were persecuted without trial.
Their families were harassed every day, their homes were destroyed, their
relatives were kicked out of jobs. Police hired street gangs to beat them, to
do every dirty tricks to the families of the victims such as pouring man’s
waste to the doors and windows, sealed the locks to the home entrances, or
throwing bricks to the victims’ families and relatives while yelling dirty
slogans to the victims whenever they leave home for work.
Police
used brutality force to attack protesters such as injecting poison into citizen
right in the street.
CONCLUSION:
With
such severe violations against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we
believe that the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the most dangerous criminal who
systematically violated the Human Rights permanently, is not deserved as a member
of the United Nation Human Rights Commission. If the criminals were present in
this most respected Commission, the whole world will question the mission of
the Commission and surely, the respects that they save for the Commission will
be much less and less.
Please
take actions before it was too late for a correction.
Your
consideration on this severe matter will be highly appreciated not only by
Vietnamese people but also the whole world.
Respectfully,
On
behalf of Vietnamese people,
Tien
Chu, M.S.P., Novelist, Artist, and Poet.
