VOV.VN - At the recent 60th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva, several organisations such as Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International (AI) once again repeated their familiar accusations about so-called human rights violations in Vietnam.

VOV.VN - Amnesty is not an end but a new beginning, allowing each individual to close the chapter on their past, live honorably, and become a productive, responsible member of society, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh says.

VOV.VN - 2025 marks the year with the largest number of prisoners granted clemency in history if combining both rounds, Le Van Tuyen, Deputy Minister of Public Security, said at a press conference on the 2025 (second round) presidential amnesty decision held on August 29 in Hanoi.

Amnesty is a special act of clemency by the State, decided by the State President, granting early release to individuals serving fixed-term or those initially sentenced to life imprisonment but later reduced to fixed terms on major national anniversaries or under special circumstances.

The 2025 Amnesty Advisory Council met on August 25 to review and endorse the list of inmates recommended for early release by the State President on the occasion of the 80th National Day (September 2, 1945–2025).
