ANNUAL REPORTS ON 
HUMAN RIGHTS IN VIETNAM 
 
The Vietnam Human Rights Network has published its annual reports on Human 
Rights in Vietnam as of 2009. The reports outline recent human rights 
developments in Vietnam and egregious human rights violations by the government 
of Vietnam against its citizens' fundamental rights. As cooperative works of 
many human rights activists in Vietnam and the Diaspora, those annual reports 
give a truthful picture of the human rights situation in Vietnam. In addition, 
original stories are cross-checked and compared with related sources, such as 
social networks (Facebook, individual blogs, Twitter, etc.), international news 
or research organizations, and even Vietnamese government news sources and data.
The reports include several chapters corresponding to the fundamental human 
rights set forth by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Recommendations 
include concrete and feasible propositions sent to the government of Vietnam, 
foreign governments, and international organizations that have business with 
Vietnam. The reports also include appendices listing prisoners of conscience 
currently held in jail or under house arrest.
