Amnesty on National Day
Ha Noi, Aug. 30 (VNA)-- The Presidential Office announced the President's special amnesty for 6,233 prisoners on the occasion of the National Day (Sept. 2).
Of the beneficiaries, 6,110 inmates have been well serving their sentences in jails, and the remaining 123 have their sentences suspended due to their special conditions according to law.
The process of considering the amnesty list was conducted openly and democratically to ensure equality, namely not to miss any cases who have met the set requirements, nor to pass any wrong cases. The consideration process also ensured that there was absolutely no discrimination between Vietnamese and foreign inmates, said the Presidential Office's representative at a press briefing.--Enditem
