The meeting was chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
18.3 thousand cases are currently under review. At the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc called for more focus on reintegrating former inmates into normal life. Vocational training should be strengthened to give them the chance to earn a decent living.
Since 2009, the government has granted amnesty five times for over 63 thousand prisoners. Amnesty bolsters trust in the Party and the state’s lenient and humane policy. Vietnam’s amnesty for 2015 is carried out in strict accordance with the law in a democratic, transparent, and public manner.
