Police in Vietnam’s northern province of Ninh Binh will launch an investigation into power abuse of its staff after a local mobile policeman was pictured to beat one man, said Colonel Dinh Hoang Dung, head of the provincial police.
The move came after a video clip spread on social networks showed that the police officer was surrounded by numerous local residents who accused him of beating the man, causing bleeding on his nose.
Speaking with the Thanh Nien newspaper, Colonel Dung said he signed a decision to clarify the case. He pledged to publicize the result of the investigation.
Recently, there have been a number of cases of police power abuse nationwide, in most cases traffic and mobile policemen have been accused of beating local residents who have been blamed of failing to respect traffic regulations.
In the communist nation, police power abuse is systemic, causing many deaths and serious injuries, according to state-run media.
So far this year, six Vietnamese have died and a number of others have been in critical health conditions after being detained in police stations in many localities, state-controlled media reported.
According to the government report, 226 detainees and arrested died at police stations and prisons in the past four years. Police said most of their deaths were caused by suicides and illness, however, their families believe that torture and bad treatment are main causes of their deaths.
Few police officers have been disciplined with light measures for power abuse, state media reported.
Vietnam adopted the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment last year, however, police torture and power abuse remains problematic in the one-party regime.
