Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Justice Dang Hoang Oanh emphasized: Inheriting and promoting the humanitarian tradition of the Vietnamese people, over the past 76 years, with the lenient policy of the Party and State of Vietnam, there have been nearly 40 special amnesties to release hundreds of thousands of prisoners early to return to their families and the community. They have been received and facilitated by their families, all levels, sectors, and social organizations, helping them to quickly stabilize their lives and reintegrate into the community.

Prisoner Nguyen Van Tien - who was granted amnesty this time expressed his gratitude for the lenient policy of the Party and State.
