"Madam President, I would like to draw Parliament’s attention to the situation of Christians in Vietnam. For 50 years they have been obliged to renounce their faith, they have had their property confiscated and they have been resettled in different regions. In recent times this persecution has been particularly starkly manifested in Hanoi, where the authorities are brutally intervening against Catholics from the Thai Ha community who are protesting against the unlawful seizure of lands belonging to this community, which is run by the Redemptorist Fathers. For example, on 31 August participants in a procession were subjected to brutal beatings. More than 20 people suffered serious injuries and were taken to hospital. Journalists were also beaten, including Associated Press reporter Ben Stocking. Let us do all we can to ensure that Vietnam, which is currently a member of the UN Security Council, observes human rights."@en1
