Pastor Chinh
VietnamThe Vietnamese government maintains tight control of many areas of civil society and does not accept attempts to create a more politically tolerant environment. The court convicted Pastor Chinh of authoring and disseminating documents that allegedly slandered authorities. Prosecutors also said he collaborated with "reactionary groups" and incited ethnic minorities to commit wrongdoing.  
The United States is deeply troubled by Pastor Chinh's arrest, conviction and sentencing. This case reflects a wider deterioration of human rights conditions in Vietnam. We call on the Vietnamese government to release all facts of the case in the interest of transparency and judicial accountability.
If our two nations are to build on the significant progress that we have made in bilateral relations, improvement in and greater respect for human rights there is needed. We continue to urge Vietnam to allow its citizens to exercise their universally recognized human rights.越南政府在公民社会的许多领域中延续高压控制并不接受试图创造一个在对政治更加宽容的大环境。法庭以这位牧师编写、传播涉嫌诽谤当局的材料而将其定罪。检察官还表示此人与“反动组织”合作，煽动少数族裔犯罪。
美国对这位牧师的逮捕、审判和量刑表示严重忧虑。本案反映了越南人权状况的急剧恶化。我们呼吁越南当局莫抓住案情不放，应秉持透明、公正的原则审理此案。
若要两国在建立双边关系上有更大进展，提高并更加尊重人权是必要的。我们继续恳请越南当局允许其公民行使已被广泛认可的人权。
