Amnesty policy being implemented in an objective, democratic transparent and fair manner
PSNews - Deputy Minister of Public Security Lieutenant General Le Van Tuyen, Standing Member of the Central Advisory Council on Amnesty and Head of the Ministry of Public Security’s (MPS) Steering Committee for Amnesty, chaired a working session with the Steering Committee’s members and involved under-ministerial departments, on the afternoon of April 16, in Hanoi.
The meeting aimed to review the implementation of the State President’s decision on the 2025 amnesty. Over the past time, MPS effectively implemented the amnesty policy in line with the spirit of the President’s amnesty decision as well as the guidance of the Central Advisory Council on Amnesty.
In implementing the President’s amnesty decision, MPS issued a number of guiding documents on the implementation of the amnesty policy and promptly carried out the amnesty procedures across all detention facilities, ensuring that the policy would be realized in a transparent, democratic, and fair manner.
In addition, MPS attached great importance to promoting communication and dissemination of the amnesty policy so as to raise the public awareness of the amnesty policy, while also conducting rigorous supervision and inspection throughout the policy implementation process.
By now, the 2025 amnesty work has been fundamentally completed as planned.
Meanwhile, the appraisal of inmates proposed for amnesty has been made by the Steering Committee in an objective, democratic, public and transparent manner while meeting all the political, professional and legal requirements.
Speaking at the working session, Deputy Minister Le Van Tuyen reiterated that amnesty is a special clemency policy of the Party and State, which is one of the legal institutions enshrined in the Constitution.
The Deputy Minister said, immediately after the President signed decision on the 2025 amnesty on March 7, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification, the MPS Steering Committee for Amnesty promptly implemented the decision in a serious, transparent and objective manner.
To ensure the success of the 2025 amnesty, Deputy Minister Le Van Tuyen requested that the Police Department of Prison, Correctional Institution and Juvenile Reformatory Management, as the Standing Office of the MPS Steering Committee for Amnesty, continue to thoroughly review the lists of inmates eligible for amnesty as well as those failing to meet the criteria, and prepare documentations for the upcoming meeting of the Central Advisory Council on Amnesty 2025.
