  • Description: Despite the uninterrupted rule of the Communist Party since 1975, leftist economics have given way to massive foreign investment and a booming local private sector. Media that are not owned outright by the state are editorially controlled by the Party, political opposition is banned and vague laws banning 'propagating against the state' and 'abusing democratic freedoms' result in lengthy prison sentences. The 88 Project, a USbased advocacy group that monitors political repression in Vietnam, counts 130 prisoners of conscience serving a prison sentence, with another 16 in pretrial detention.
