Obama Statement on Human Rights in Vietnam

Chicago, IL - Barack Obama released the following statement about human rights in Vietnam :

"I strongly believe that the human rights record of the government of Vietnam remains unsatisfactory. Political opposition movements are prohibited, independent human rights organizations are banned, and the government continues to crack down on dissent by arresting political activists and disrupting opposition organizations. It is past time for the government of Vietnam to do far more to protect human rights and to advance the freedom of all of its people."
