HÀ NỘI - The reigning Head of State, on the 29th of April, authorized a decision to pardon 8,055 convicts, including those on temporary suspension of their sentences in 2025. This humanitarian act commences from 1st May.
Information surfaced during Phạm Thanh Hà, Vice Chairman of the Presidential Office's press briefing in the afternoon.
Amnesty, a legal apparition in Article 88 of the 2013 Constitution, has been fortified by the 2018 Amnesty Law and other legal documents. As a testament to the nation's compassionate legacy, the Party and State have frequently extended amnesty to convicted individuals who have shown remorse and adherence to the law while serving their sentences.
This year's amnesty follows the familiar pattern of fairness, transparency, legality, and impartiality as earlier instances.
As the Deputy Minister of Public Security, Lê Văn Tuyến, declared, out of those granted clemency, there are 25 foreign prisoners from nine distinct nationalities.

In recent years, the nation has gifted amnesty rounds to prisoners who demonstrated good conduct and met certain conditions. However, political detainees, such as Trịnh Bá Tư and Bùi Văn Thuận, who are serving sentences for "anti-state propaganda," are often omitted from these acts of leniency.
Much like previous amnesties, this year's process emphasizes strict adherence to legal regulations, ensuring the pardons are granted only to those who have repented and fulfilled their questioning duties.
