The Vietnam Supreme People’s Court has decided to prosecute two police officers in the southern province of Soc Trang for allegation of committing torture in a local murder case.
Accordingly, police investigators Nguyen Hoang Quan and Trieu Tuan Hung are accused of torturing seven suspects in the murder of Mr. Ly Van Dung in Dai An 2 commune in Tran De district while Pham Van Nui, a provincial procuracy officer is accused of irresponsibility which causes serious consequences.
In 2013, Soc Trang authorities arrested Thach So Phach, Tran Van Do, Tran Hol, Tran Cua, Khau Soc and Thach Muol to investigate the death of Mr. Dung, who was killed on July 6.
After long detention, the seven were released after the real murder was arrested.
After being freed, they filled denunciation, blaming investigators Quan and Hung of committing torture and forcing them to confess for the murder they did not commit.
Mr. Nui was accused of approving arrest warrant, prosecution and detention of the seven without solid evidences.
Two other police officers of Soc Trang province’s Police Department were also disciplined for irresponsibility in the case.
Torture is systematic in Vietnam where police forces are considered the most important forces to maintain the one-party regime, according to international human rights bodies.
As many as 226 Vietnamese suspected of committing crimes were found dead during detention in police stations between Oct 1, 2011 and Sept 30, 2014. Torture is the main reasons for these deaths although Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security said suicides and diseases are the main causes.
During the period, people in 46 cases accused police investigators of conducting tortures but police admitted that only three complaints were correct.
Last year, Vietnam adopted the UN Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment in a bid to deal with police torture.
