As amnesty is typically granted on the occasion of major national events and anniversaries, the President signed the decision on the 2025 amnesty on the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification.

To ensure the successful implementation of the amnesty plans, Deputy Minister Le Van Tuyen requested that the staff of the Thanh Xuan Prison and temporary detention centers under the Hanoi City Police Department continue to update their inmates on the Party and State’s lenient policies as well as the President’s decision on the 2025 amnesty.
