Death sentences to be executed by poison

June 14, 2011 about Community, News

LookAtVietnam - The Law on Execution of Criminal Sentences will take effect as of July 1, 2011, under which death sentences will be executed by poison, instead of shooting.
The law was approved by the 12th National Assembly. One of the most notable points in the new law is changing the form of execution of death sentences. Instead of shooting, death-sentence criminals will be executed by poison injection.
This form of death sentence execution is said to be more advantageous than shooting because families of death-sentence criminals can take the bodies.
The new law is also praised to have specific regulations on rewards and punishments for prisoners who perform well or violate regulations at prisons.
The Ministry of Public Security has organized training courses on the implementation of the Law on Execution of Criminal Sentences.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
