Vietnam’s lawmakers have okayed to drop seven crimes from the list of death penalties in a bid to promote the humanity in the communist-ruled country in Southeast Asia, state media reported.
The majority of members of the Justice Committee under the National Assembly, the country’s highest legislative body, agreed to the government’s proposal on dropping removing seven out of 22 crimes from the capital punishment list in the draft amendment to the Criminal Law.
The crimes include robbery, destroying works important of national security, activities against order at the higher levels, surrender to enemies, harming the peace and launching war, activities against the mankind and war crimes.
Vietnam intends to reduce the number of crimes charged with capital punishment to 15.
The reduction partly shows Vietnam’s efforts to remove death sentences as called for by foreign countries and organizations, including the Amnesty International, Harm Reduction International, and the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty.
The groups urged the United Nations to freeze anti-drug assistance to Vietnam, explaining that the support would enable the communist country to issue more death sentences to drug traffickers.
The draft amendment also added three crimes, including violating voting rights, deforming results from referendum and violating rights to freedom of expression, press, and demonstration.
