"In Vietnam, hundreds of people are being held in detention for their political and religious beliefs. Indeed, I believe that the violent attack against Buddhist monks at the end of September clearly shows that Vietnam is refusing to improve its human rights situation.
In Laos, a country under military dictatorship, the leaders of the students and teachers movement set up a decade ago are still being held in secret detention. The recent peaceful demonstrations held in support of respect for human rights were suppressed by the secret police, while the Hmong community continues to be subject to persecution.
Both Laos and Vietnam must fully comply with international standards in terms of protecting human rights. The persecution must stop against members of religious communities, minorities and, in general, against citizens doing no more than defending their political rights
It is the European Union’s duty to monitor closely the development of human rights and to use all its influence to reverse this negative trend."@en1
