Amnesty International’s 2016 global review of the death penalty report showed that Vietnam executed 429 people between August 2013 and June 2016.
But the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security did not disclose the execution figures for 2016.
Amnesty International’s Secretary-general Salil Shetty said that the Vietnamese figures were appalling and questioned what the nation was hiding by not revealing how many people it executed last year.
Amnesty’s Individuals at Risk Program Coordinator Rose Kolak said that Vietnam’s execution figures over the last few years was particularly concerning and also singled out China over its lack of transparency.
Vietnam imposes death sentences to a list of more than 20 crimes, including drug trafficking. In the revised criminal code taking effect in July 2016, the Vietnamese lawmakers removed seven crimes from capital punishment.
