Vietnam dissidents urge US help to boost human rights

AFP
June 18, 2015, 9:40 am

Washington (AFP) - Vietnamese dissidents Wednesday pleaded for international help for prisoners of conscience jailed inside their country and warned that warming US ties with Hanoi may send the wrong message to the ruling communists.

Prominent blogger Nguyen Van Hai, who was released from prison in late October and sent into exile in America, told US lawmakers that "his fellow prisoners entrusted me to relay their cries for help."

They wanted the international community to "understand that the persecution of prisoners of conscience in Vietnam is systemic, to lay bare the deceit of Vietnam authorities when they commit to revise Vietnamese laws in order to participate in trade agreements but do not implement such laws."

Hai -- alias Dieu Cay -- whose case was raised by President Barack Obama, was freed two years after being jailed for 12 years by a court in southern Vietnam on charges of "anti-state propaganda."

News of his release came only weeks after Washington partially lifted a 40-year ban on arms sales to Hanoi, citing some "modest" progress in human rights as one of the reasons for reviewing a prohibition in place since the Vietnam War.

But Hai warned his case was "testament to the suppression of human rights in Vietnam" and added in Vietnam "people don't have a platform to raise their voice."

"People do not dare speak their views, simply because any disagreement with the ruling party can get you arrested under vague laws."

Speaking through a translator, Hai submitted to a panel of the House foreign affairs committee a list of prisoners of conscience in need of "emergency assistance" and called on Washington to push for their release.

Wednesday's hearing came at a critical juncture in ties between the former foes, with Obama soon to welcome Vietnamese communist party head Nguyen Phu Trong to the White House, another activist, Nguyen Dinh Thang, said.

"By embracing this quickening rapprochement, our own government may inadvertently send the wrong message to the government of Vietnam, that its relentless persecution of dissidents, its brutal repression of independent religious communities, and its suppression of indigenous rights will be met with impunity," he warned.

He called on Congress to ensure that the bilateral trade and security partnership, including Vietnam's participation in an emerging huge trade pact, must be contingent on human rights improvements.

Hanoi should also free an estimated 150 political prisoners and prisoners of conscience, and fully respect freedom of religion.

Doan Thi Hong Anh, widow of Nguyen Thanh Nam who was tortured to death in 2010, warned Vietnamese authorities still did not respect religious freedom.

"I call on you to continue raising your concern and pressure Vietnam government to respect religious freedom. Strong US and international pressure is necessary and makes a difference," she told the lawmakers.

The panel's chairman Representative Chris Smith said human rights victims in Vietnam were looking for support from the US government.

"The Vietnamese government needs US security cooperation and economic benefits more than the US needs Vietnam. We have leverage to bring about concrete changes in Vietnam. We must not give up or ignore this leverage."

Freed Vietnam dissident heads to US

AFP
October 23, 2014, 12:41 am

Washington (AFP) - Vietnam has freed a leading dissident whose case was raised by US President Barack Obama, and he was due to arrive late Tuesday in the United States, an American official said.

The news comes only weeks after Washington partially lifted a 40-year ban on arms sales to Hanoi, citing some "modest" progress in human rights as one of the reasons for reviewing a prohibition in place since the Vietnam War.

Nguyen Van Hai, one of Vietnam's most prominent bloggers, has chosen to move to the United States, State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters.

Hai, alias Dieu Cay, was sentenced to 12 years in September 2012 by a court in southern Vietnam on charges of "anti-state propaganda." Two other bloggers received jail terms of 10 years and four years.

"We welcome the decision by Vietnamese authorities to release this prisoner of conscience," Harf told reporters.

"He decided to travel to the United States after his release from prison and will arrive on Tuesday, October 21. That's today."

In May 2012, Obama said the world "must not forget (journalists) like blogger Dieu Cay, whose 2008 arrest coincided with a mass crackdown on citizen journalism in Vietnam."

Hai, who went on hunger strike at least twice to protest his jailing, has been in detention since September 2008, after first being sentenced to two-and-a-half years for tax fraud.

The charges of conducting propaganda against Vietnam's one-party communist state are routinely used to prosecute dissidents in a country that rights groups say is conducting a growing crackdown against freedom of expression.

Harf renewed US calls for the release of all Vietnamese political prisoners, adding she hoped more would follow.

- Deported -

Hai's former wife, Duong Thi Tan, told Radio Free Asia however that he was not given any choice, but was taken straight from his jail cell to the airport and put on a plane to the United States.

"Hai could not call us at home," she said. "In fact, they did not let the family know anything about his release. There was no signal or notice. They deported him to exile, they did not release him just like what they said."

New York-based Human Rights Watch had expressed concern over the health of Hai, who was a founding member of the banned "Free Journalists Club."

Last year he refused to eat for 25 days until his complaints about his treatment and that of other political prisoners were looked into.

Dozens of peaceful political activists have been jailed since Vietnam began a new crackdown on dissent in late 2009. Vietnam bans private media, and all newspapers and television channels are state-run.

But earlier this month, the US partly lifted its ban on arms sales to its former foe to help boost defenses in the tense South China Sea.

Some 40 percent of the world's seaborne trade passes through the sea, which is claimed in part by Vietnam, Taiwan, Brunei and Malaysia, as well as China and the Philippines.

At the time State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said: "Vietnam will need to make additional progress on human rights for the United States to consider a full lift of the ban on lethal defense articles in the future."

State Department officials have presented a list of dissidents to Hanoi whose cases they are closely monitoring. They said that, in the past months, 11 dissidents had been freed.

They included French-trained lawyer Cu Huy Ha Vu, the son of a Vietnamese revolutionary leader, who was sentenced in April 2011 to seven years in prison for "anti-state activity."

Vu's release in April came after intense campaigning by rights groups and foreign governments. He and his wife flew to the United States, and he is currently pursuing a fellowship at the Washington-based National Endowment for Democracy.

Spot on. Good to know some forumers are smarter than the TS. The PAP are US lackeys. US nuclear subs dock at Sembawang Naval Base. Our free trade agreements with the US allow their corporations to exploit workers, stifle our SMEs and suck wealth out of our economy while our PMETs remain unemployed.

Any wonder why the Indonesians and Malaysians call us the Israel of S.E. Asia? Why Xi Jinping gave Singapore the miss but visited Indonesia and Malaysia during the 2013 APEC meetings. Why Li Keqiang visited Brunei, Thailand and Vietnam after the ASEAN summits but gave Singapore the snub?

LOL. LHL was the last ASEAN leader to have a personal conference with Xi. And it was only because China was hosting the APEC meeting 2014 that Xi deigned to accommodate Pinky, more than a year after he had visited all the other ASEAN leaders.

Did you know at the 2013 APEC meeting in Bali, Xi had 'four eyes' meetings with Russian president Vladimir Putin, South Korean president Park Geun-hye, Thailand prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Malaysian PM Najib Razak and his host, Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, but did not meet LHL?

Why China President didn’t visit Singapore

October 12th, 2013 | by The Independent
FEATURED NEWS
By Tom Cang in Beijing

Singaporeans tend to look at China’s leaders with ambiguity, much like watching a very powerful distant relative with wariness and caution tinged with a modicum of pride. Every move is analysed, but there is no way to confirm the suspicions.

At the recent Apec meetings in Bali, Chinese president Xi Jinping made the necessary rounds of networking, hobnobbing with Russian president Vladimir Putin, and holding talks with South Korean president Park Geun-hye, Thailand prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Malaysian PM Najib Razak and his host, Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

But observers noticed he did not officially meet Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong. They also noted that Xi did not stop over at Singapore while on his way to Indonesia, but he visited Malaysia after.

Chinese PM Li Keqiang will tour Brunei, Thailand and Vietnam after the Asean summits, but also not drop by Singapore.

So, the conclusion is generally: “When two top Chinese leaders visit many Southeast Asian nations but ignore Singapore, when top Chinese leaders meet the leaders of many other countries but not Singapore’s, maybe that is a hint that China is unhappy with Singapore.”

Some even quote “well-placed sources that said Chinese leaders are livid over PM Lee’s jokes about China’s environmental issues at a state dinner in Washington”.
Among other things, he said, “Beijing residents joke that to get a free smoke all they have to do is open their windows!” The same “well-placed sources” also said “China has its way of getting its revenge at the right place and the right time”.

Such conjecture seems to reflect a rather narrow view of how China conducts its diplomatic relations.

In the first place, it underestimates the historical and lengthy relationship between China and Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew has maintained goodwill with five generations of Chinese leaders from Chairman Mao onwards, and only Henry Kissinger has the same diplomatic standing with Beijing.

China will not ignore Singapore’s contribution as an arbitrator in cross-Straits relationships, or its many contributions in the transfer of essential technology. Even now, many Singaporeans are the major motivators in industries such as hospitality. Singapore is the only country that trains a significant number of Chinese party cadres and government officials.

Another consideration is Singapore’s role as an ASEAN leader, heading a major regional political think-tank. China is certainly looking towards Singapore for an impartial solution to the disputes in the South China Sea.

Ever since the Deng Xiaoping era, China has regarded Singapore as a model for many socio-economic issues, such as housing, transport and tourism among others.
The current leaders are just as interested in a closer look at how Singapore operates, and it was said that CCTV, China’s national television station, was sent down specifically to document its latest progress.

There is no country in the world, in relation to size and geopolitical importance, that China already regards so highly.

Having said that, Singapore observers should keep one thing in mind. China is a player on the world stage. It engages countries like the United States and Russia on an equal footing. It is forming partnerships like BRIC, for example and is a major financial force lubricating deals in Europe, the Americas and in Africa.

In China’s eye, Singapore is a good friend, but it has a relatively small part in the diplomatic machinery China has to keep constantly oiled.

PM Lee and DPM Teo Chee Hean both visited Beijing recently and were received with the proper attention. Not talking at Apec may simply mean there are no important issues to talk about, this time.

Good friends should have enough mutual understanding not to be second-guessing all the time.

Malaysia’s jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim needs UN and US support, daughter says

A daughter of Malaysia’s jailed former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim is pinning her hopes on the United Nations or United States taking up his case.

Anwar was convicted last year of sodomising a male aide and jailed for five years, but his supporters regard the former deputy prime minister as a political prisoner held on trumped up charges.

This week, the elder of his two daughters, Nurul Izzah, was in Washington to meet officials from the White House, State Department and Congress to lobby on her 68-year-old father’s behalf.

Current Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has been weakened by a corruption scandal, and Anwar’s camp hopes international pressure will be the key to re-opening his case.

“America needs also to understand the impact of allowing such an important voice like Anwar to be silenced just because of political considerations,” Nurul said.

“And I think if we allow this authoritarian regime to hijack the agenda you will only see a worsening situation in terms of extremism.”

Once an ally of former Malaysian strongman Mahathir Mohamad, Anwar has already served jail time for sodomy – a serious crime in the mainly-Muslim country – but emerged to lead the opposition movement.

Washington has expressed its concern several times over his treatment, and in August US Secretary of State John Kerry said he had taken up the matter directly with Rajib.

Anwar’s international legal team has filed a motion with the UN Security Council’s human rights committee and hopes next month to be rewarded with a statement condemning his incarceration.

“Our hope is that between the UN opinion and the increased authoritarian consolidation underway in Malaysia ... and Najib being under investigation ... all these things together create the image of Najib as a man under siege,” one lawyer said.
