COMPLAINT AGAINST THE COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT OF VIETNAM: ARBITRARY IMPRISONMENT AND INFRINGEMENT OF THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE

The entire group of 21 citizens including women were beaten until covered in blood before they were locked up in a dark, dirty room for almost 48 hours. To make matters worse, the authorities did not provide food or drinking water for the detainees.
