Description
Vietnam on Tuesday announced an amnesty for more than 3,000 prisoners ahead of the country's independence anniversary.
Prisoners jailed for corruption, drugs and other criminal offences are among those eligible for an early release, and the list includes 21 foreigners, according to deputy minister of public security Le Quoc Hung.
Hung refused to say how many political prisoners would be freed, insisting "there are no prisoners on political charges in Vietnam". IMAGES, FILE IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
