In 2007, the Court and the Procuracy Office of Hai Phong Province, Vietnam convicted and sentenced Nguyen Van Chuong to death for allegedly killing a police officer.
There were two eyewitnesses who would testify that Nguyen Van Chuong was in a different city, some 40 km away from the crime scene, at the time of the murder. These two witnesses were not allowed to testify at Nguyen's trial without any justification and Mr. Nguyen's alibis were not considered.
Nguyen Van Chuong was tortured during his pre-trial's imprisonment and coerced into signing a confession, admitting to guilt.
We call on the Vietnam government to immediately stop Nguyen Van Chuong's execution - which has been set for the end of December 2014 - and to overturn his wrongful conviction for the reasons stated above!
