Hanoi (VNA) – The Party Central Committee’s Politburo and Secretariat on July 11 announced disciplinary measures against three incumbent and former officials for serious violations of the Party's regulations and the State's laws while performing their duties.

They issued a warning to Vo Chi Cong, an alternate member of the Party Central Committee, member of the Can Tho municipal Party Committee’s Standing Board, and Head of the municipal Party Committee’s Board for Information, Education and Mass Mobilisation.

Cong, during his tenure as a member of the Soc Trang provincial Party Committee's Standing Board and Head of its Organisation Board, was found to have breached regulations on things that Party members are not permitted to do and the duty to set an example, causing serious consequences and damaging the Party organisation’s reputation, according to findings from the Party Central Committee’s Inspection Commission.

Harsher penalties were imposed on two former officials of Hung Yen province. Nguyen Bat Khach, former member of the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board and former Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; and Le Ngoc Soi, former member of the provincial Party Committee and former Director of the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment, were expelled from the Party.

Both showed degradation in political ideology, morality, and lifestyle; committed to violations in corruption, wastefulness, and other misconduct. Their actions triggered severe consequences, sparked public concern, and severely undermined the Party organisation’s reputation and the integrity of their respective units.

The Politburo and Secretariat proposed competent authorities promptly enforce administrative penalties in line with the Party's disciplinary measures./.

It is not difficult to recognise the report’s outdated tone, built on unsubstantiated arguments, entrenched prejudice, and imposed interpretations regarding the freedom of religion in Vietnam. This is also not the first time the organisation’s conclusions have exposed clear shortcomings in objectivity and methodology, raising questions about political motivations behind what is presented as a human rights assessment.
