"Mr President, it is welcome news that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has established a regional Human Rights Commission. Against this background, it is shocking to meet Vietnamese monks who have been the victims of a violent attack. We on the Subcommittee on Human Rights had the honour to meet them recently.
The position of religious communities seems to be becoming more and more difficult in Vietnam. We really have to condemn the fact that more than 300 monks and nuns from two monasteries had to leave as a result of violence and that religious communities are continually being harassed. It is important that Vietnam takes notice of the recommendations of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, which propose, for example, that United Nations Special Rapporteurs be invited to the country to monitor the implementation of freedom of opinion and religion, as well as other basic human rights."@en1
