I saw a reference to a report by the U.S.-based NGO Human Rights Watch and went online to find out more. But their website is one that is blocked at the virtual border by the Vietnamese government. I can't read it on this end. If you are some place with more choice in your reading matter, you can see see what Human Rights Watch has to say about Vietnam here: http://www.hrw.org/asia/vietnam.php
The laws of censorship and logic aren't usually fellow travelers, so it shouldn't surprise me that some other sites--presumably equally embarrassing to the Vietnamese government--are accessible on this end:
