Vietnam Uses Cops, Thugs to Keep Critics Home

(Bangkok, February 17, 2022) – The Vietnamese government is systematically restricting the movement of political activists and human rights defenders, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Authorities should immediately lift all movement restrictions and amend laws restricting citizens' basic rights to travel freely within, to and from Vietnam.

The 65-page report, "Locked Inside Our Home: Movement Restrictions on Rights Activists in Vietnam," documents the Vietnamese government's routine violation of the right to freedom of movement and other fundamental rights, subjecting activists, dissidents, human rights defenders and others to indefinite house arrest, harassment and other forms of detention. Authorities have detained activists just long enough to prevent them from attending protests, criminal trials, meetings with foreign diplomats and a US president, and other events.
