the Law on Execution of Criminal Sentences will take effect as of July 1, 2011, under which death sentences in Vietnam will be executed by poison injection, instead of shooting. This is said to be more advantageous than shooting because families of death-sentence criminals can take the bodies.
The law was approved by the 12th National Assembly.
The Ministry of Public Security organised training courses on the implementation of the Law on Execution of Criminal Sentences.
The new law is also praised to have specific regulations on rewards and punishments for prisoners who perform well or violate regulations at prisons.
