The press conference was jointly held by Presidential Office, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Supreme People's Court. Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Can Dinh Tai said the amnesty has profound political, legal, and humanitarian significance.
It demonstrates the strictness of the law and the humane traditions of the nation, Tai said. The amnesty is a vivid manifestation of Vietnam's socialist rule of law state, which places people at the center and creates opportunities for those who are truly repentant to reintegrate in and contribute to society.
The majority of those granted amnesty have quickly stabilized their lives, actively engaged in production, complied well with the law, and become new citizens, the official said, affirming the effectiveness of educating and rehabilitating prisoners. The 2026 amnesty implementation delivers the consistent message of the Party and State: no one is left behind if they are truly determined to correct their mistakes and strive to improve themselves through their own will.
Deputy Minister of Public Security, Lieutenant General Le Van Tuyen, told the media that 63 prisoners of foreign nationalities, including 56 men and 7 women, were granted amnesty this time.
