[[Capital punishment]] is a legal penalty in [[Vietnam]] for a variety of crimes.
The [[Human Rights Measurement Initiative]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Human Rights Measurement Initiative – The first global initiative to track the human rights performance of countries |url=https://humanrightsmeasurement.org/ |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=humanrightsmeasurement.org}}</ref> gives Vietnam a score of 4.4 out of 10 on the right to freedom from the death penalty, based on responses from human rights experts in the country.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Vietnam - HRMI Rights Tracker |url=https://rightstracker.org/ |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=rightstracker.org |language=en}}</ref> These experts have also identified that certain groups, such as migrants and/or immigrants, people with low social or economic status, and refugees or asylum seekers are particularly at risk of having their right to freedom from the death penalty violated. In 2020, these experts additionally identified "those involved in land disputes, particularly those involved with the [[2017 Hanoi hostage crisis|Dong Tam Village attack]]" and "detainees or prisoners, particularly those convicted for drug offences or robberies", as being especially vulnerable to death penalty executions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Vietnam - HRMI Rights Tracker |url=https://rightstracker.org/ |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=rightstracker.org |language=en}}</ref>
'''Capital punishment''' is a legal form of punishment in '''[[Vietnam]]'''. Capital punishment (Death penalty) is a special penalty only applied for persons who commit serious crimes. The death penalty cannot be applied to juvenile offenders, pregnant women and women nursing children under 36 months old at the time the crime was committed or being tried. These cases shall be converted into life imprisonment.<ref name="Penal Code">{{cite web|title=Penal Code (No. 15/1999/QH10)|url=http://vbqppl.moj.gov.vn/vbpq/en/_layouts/printeng.aspx?id=610|publisher=Ministry of Justice|accessdate=10 October 2011}}</ref> ▼
==Characteristics==
In November 2015, a revision of the Penal Code was passed that severely curtailed the death penalty. Under the new regulations, which took effect on July 1, 2016, the death penalty was abolished for seven crimes: surrendering to the enemy, opposing order, destruction of projects of national security importance, robbery, drug possession, drug appropriation, and the production and trade of fake food. In addition, those 75 or older are exempt, and officials convicted of corruption charges can be spared if they pay back at least 75% of the profits they illicitly obtained.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://zeenews.india.com/news/world/vietnam-passes-law-abolishing-death-penalty-for-7-crimes_1827164.html|title=Vietnam passes law abolishing death penalty for 7 crimes|date=27 November 2015}}</ref>
