Human Rights in Vietnam

    

The Human Rights Watch states, "The Vietnamese government tightened controls on freedom of expression during 2010, harassing, arresting, and jailing dozens of writers, political activists, and other peaceful critics." This is a wonderful website because it has all types of media covering rights in most countries in the world. But i learned that things in Vietnam are not good at all. Many organizations and governments including ours has tried to get involved with how the government treats its people but they wouldn't allow it. There is no freedom of speech in Vietnam. Things like the Internet are monitory very closely. They also record all telephone conversations. They only have a couple of website but many are blocked to to banning. There is also not much freedom of speech, so it makes the news and media quite are to accomplish there. In Vietnam like many other communist countries there are only a couple government regulated newspapers and TV channels to makes sure there are no uprisings. There are no elections in Vietnam therefore people don't get to elect someone they believe to rule their country. This makes people feel very stranded because this simple thing gives the power to the people. They also hold people prisoner for any most crimes committed against the government, involving media. Recently they released a bunch of these reporters and other media specialist because of over crowding in the prisons. But the crime rates are much lower than other places because punishment in so well enforced. Women's rights are almost nonexistent. Most women never leave the house unless they are working at a factory or in the fields. So all in all there are basically no human rights and one can easily see resemblance to those of other Communist or dictatorship governments.
