Hanoi, Vietnam — Two Vietnamese police officers have been imprisoned for helping a woman on death row become pregnant so she would not have to face the firing squad, a court official said Thursday.
The policemen in Hoa Binh province were found guilty of allowing the woman to have sex with a male inmate so that she could take advantage of a Vietnamese law that says pregnant women and mothers of children under 3 cannot be put to death.
The Hoa Binh City Court convicted the two officers of abusing power while on duty, said court official Hoang Thuy Linh. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Lillian Vernon
